Are people that exercise destroying the planet?

They are putting out excess CO2. Should we consider a carbon tax for those people? Maybe we should require them to wear a carbon capture devise?

We need to consider banning all these activities where heavy breathing is involved, including sex.

    i cant tell if this is a serious question so im just going to assume it is. CO2 i plant food and to tax this should be a crime, second what would the tax do, all it would do is make every everything more expensive, the company's would just take the tax out on us by making all there products more expensive. and third is that if we have been doing extreme physical work in the past with every body farming or working out doors, with the very little we do those things now it would make no sense that this would change the climate now but not a couple hundred year ago. but if you want to get everyone fat and lazy and have no more children because its to expensive than this is a great idea. :)

    People who exercise emit more CO2 when exercising, but because they are fitter with better lungs and hearts almost certainly emit less CO2 during non excerising periods (due to increased aerobic efficiency) which is 90% of the time, so no we should tax those who don't exercise.

    Now ask yourself, where does that carbon come from that they're exhaling? Their food. Where does the food come from? Plants growing in a field. Now ask yourself, where did the carbon come from before that?

    I'm not going to tell you the answer. Please click my link "Carbon Cycle for Kids", then come back when you know the answer.

    What we exhale comes from plants that took the carbon dioxide from the air.
