Question: do humans or insects produce more carbon dioxide?
Humans produce, through respiration (breathing) about 2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. If you add the production of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels and other human industry (26 billion metric tons) and the respiration of domesticated animals (6 billion metric tons), the total carbon dioxide production that can be blamed on humans, directly or indirectly, is 34 billion metric tons.
Insects, through respiration, produce 48 billion metric tons.
Hmm. The logical conclusion is that insects must be regulated. I wonder what the environmentalists will have to say.
