I’m having a hard time even understanding your sentences at this point.

All carbon from cows comes from plants, and all carbon in plants comes from the atmosphere.

The problem with fossil fuels is because we are drilling and pumping the carbon out of the deep Earth and then emitting it into the atmosphere as a byproduct undoing hundreds of thousands of years of sequestration in just a few short decades.

@bioemerl @usernamesAreTricky @blazera a couple of cars won’t make a difference, billions of cars do. Just like cows. No wonder why you are having a hard time understanding

Cows don’t run on fossil fuel that have been in the ground for millions of years. Cars do.

@bioemerl @usernamesAreTricky @blazera picture this. You have a glass of water and a spoon of salt. The water has a concentration of ions, when you pour the salt in it you move the balance to a higher concentration of salt. Basically you have an atmosphere with X concentration of CO² and lets say a population of a billion cows and a billion trees. What happens if you double the amount of cows and half the amount of trees? Do you think the CO² concentration remains unchanged?
