The issue with carbon emissions from burning fuel is that they increase the carbon in the atmosphere because their origin is from sources trapped underground. Similar to a water cycle there is a carbon cycle. The carbon we exhale is produced from biological processes, not from combusting carbon which was previously trapped.

did anyone read the link?

from the votes it seems 1/8 people don't even read the source lolol - i thought lemmy was supposed to be better than this reddit-type behaviour....

tldr: i'm not the one making these ridiculous claims, it was a statement made (apparently in earnest) by a loopy politician.

“You would be giving off more CO2 if you are riding a bike than driving in a car,” he said. However, he said he had not “done any analysis” of the difference in CO2 from a person on a bike compared to the engine of a car" 😂

Apologies.

I didn't read the source, just thought you were being serious.
