   There is a fundamental difference between the CO2 emitted by exhaling   
   and the CO2 emitted by cars. The C02 emitted by exhaling comes from food   
   we ate, so it comes from the biosphere and stays in the biosphere. The   
   CO2 emitted by cars comes from fossil fuels that were recently outside   
   the biosphere. So that CO2 is adding to the total amount of carbon in   
   the atmosphere. The CO2 from exhaling is just moving carbon from plants   
   we eat, or plants some animal ate, animal which we then eat to the   
   atmosphere. It will then go back to plants in the normal carbon cycle.   
   That does not cause global warming. CO2 from cars does cause global warming.   
      
   I agree with you that overpopulation is a concern. Not because that   
   makes more humans exhaling, but because it makes more humans doing all   
   kinds of things harming the environment.
