Shitting it will not release it into the air. Maybe a small percentage, depending on it's circuit in nature. But yes, your point about the CO2 circuit stands.

- maeln 1y agoTurns out, we were the carbon captor all along
- CGMthrowaway 1y agoMost (85-90%) of the carbon in the food we eat is breathed out, not excreted
- ljf 1y agoSide note - it always amazes me (and people when I tell them) that when you lose fat from your body, they main way for that fat to leave your system, is to burn it then breathe the co2 out - that is one of the limits on how much fat you can burn a day. You do lose some of the results of the burning, and a little through sweat, but the vast majority is down to co2 leaving your system. (Note you can temporarily also lose weight through water loss - but that isn't the loss of actual fat from your system.)

- lisbbb 1y agoWe need to figure out how to make 8 billion humans act as carbon sinks!
