Does anyone know how to reduce this? I’m worried about creating climate change.

Eat less. But don't worry.

Don't worry, the government already has plans in store for this particular issue.

  No, because activists have a basic understanding of the carbon cycle. All the carbon you exhale was recently taken out of the atmosphere by plants. You're carbon-neutral. If we start synthesizing food from fossil fuels, then human exhalation will actually contribute to climate change.

  I think generally activists more don’t want billions to die from hunger, war and displacement and for the beauty we find in the world not to be spoiled. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But maybe you hang out with different activists.

    > I think generally activists more don’t want billions to die from hunger, war and displacement and for the beauty we find in the world not to be spoiled. If you think that, then you experience the same cognitive dissonance that they do. The best way to despoil the world is to live like cavemen, which requires experiencing the hunger, disease and displacement that they did with far lower population counts from what we currently have. Conservatism is the antithesis of science and progress. Tree-huggers are anti-science and anti-progress.

      It's easy to argue against the stereotype of tree-hugger hippies but plenty of activists want to actually solve the climate problem, which involves lots of high-tech stuff like solar panels, advanced nuclear power, battery storage, electric vehicles, etc. Ironically, it's the "pro-growth conservatives" these days pushing for a return to old technologies.

You exhaling carbon isn't causing climate change. Those carbon atoms came from your food, or from your food's food, which was a plant, and the plant got the carbon from CO2 in the air. You breathe it out, it goes to the plant, you eat the plant, and you breathe it out again. This is the carbon cycle. The reason we have climate change is the we're extracting carbon from geologic formations where it's been trapped for millions of years. There is no carbon cycle: It gets extracted, burned, the CO2 goes into the air and stays there (maybe in 10 million years more oil and coal will form, but there are reasons to believe these processes are no longer occurring.)
