Population Warming

Introducing me and my twisted logic...
  • People’s bodies radiate heat.
  • People exhale carbon dioxide as part of breathing.
  • Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades.
    Wikipedia: The increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the primary causes of the human-induced component of warming. They are released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing and agriculture, etc. and lead to an increase in the greenhouse effect. The first speculation that a greenhouse effect might occur was by the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius in 1897, although it did not become a topic of popular debate until some 90 years later.
For some reason, I have to wonder how much global warming really is a product of industrialization. So following my own crazy brand of logic…
  • The world population is continuing to grow.
  • More people means more body heat and carbon dioxide.
  • Thus, just living and breathing contributes to global warming.
