Not that weather patterns and the melting of glaciers in present days are not in any way connected to an explosion of human population. "The lungs bring oxygen into the body when breathing in and send carbon dioxide out of the body when breathing out. Carbon dioxide is a waste gas produced by the cells of the body." [3] "Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important heat-trapping (greenhouse) gas, which is released through human activities such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels, as well as natural processes such as respiration and volcanic eruptions." [4]
Going back to the last post, quoting Bergoglio [5]:
Today’s meeting offers me the opportunity to renew my encouragement to your people, who last year suffered a devastating natural disaster, with the destruction of entire wooded areas. These are events that alarm us, they are warning signs that creation sends us, and that ask us to take effective decisions immediately for the protection of our common home.
When carrying out Bergoglio's recommendation to have people make "effective decisions immediately for the protection of our common home," does that mean people ought to cut down the amount of carbon dioxide that is released into the air by not breathing starting "immediately"?
When everyone is dead, including Bergoglio, from asphyxiation, then for certain "the common home" will be saved but nobody will be occupying it. It is a quick fix for all social, political and environmental problems and a very effective one at that.
