Humans “breathing” harms the environment, UK scientists claim
New research
put together by Dr. Nicholas Cowan, an atmospheric physicist at the UK
Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh, argues that the gases
exhaled by humans while breathing are a major contributing factor to
global warming.
According to Dr. Cowan and his team, the simple act of
respiration releases warming gases into the air that contribute to
atmospheric heating and “boiling” oceans.
“It has been reported that exhaled human breath can contain the
greenhouse gases methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), both of which
have a much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide (CO2),”
the study explains.
“Where hydrocarbon chains (food types) are consumed by humans and
turned into CH4 (and N2O from nitrogen intake), the global warming
potential is no longer neutral, and human respiration has a net warming
effect on the atmosphere.”
“We would urge caution in the assumption that emissions from humans are negligible.”
“The new study was led by Dr Nicholas Cowan, an atmospheric physicist at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Edinburgh.

Stop breathing, save the world
For their study, the researchers looked at levels of methane and
nitrous oxide in the human breath of 104 adult volunteers from the
general population of the United Kingdom.
Each volunteer was instructed to take a deep breath, hold it for
five seconds, then exhale into a sealable plastic bag. A total of 328
breath samples were collected from the participants, each of whom was
recorded based on age, sex, and dietary preference.
Upon analysis, all of the breath samples were found to contain
nitrous oxide, while only 31 percent were found to contain methane, the
same gas found in “cow farts” that the climate cultists are also trying
to eliminate.
The other 69 percent of participants that did not release methane
in their breath were determined to still “release the gas in flatus,”
meaning flatulence.
Females above the age of 30 were found to be the most likely to
exhale methane in their breath, though researchers say they are unsure
why this is the case.
Overall based on all the samples, the researchers determined that
the proportion of UK “greenhouse gas” emissions that come from people’s
breath is 0.05 percent for methane and 0.1 percent for nitrous oxide.
To be clear about what this means, Dr. Cowan stressed that these
two percentages relate specifically to the two respective gases. The two
percentages do not cover the totality of UK greenhouse gas emissions as
a whole.
As far as they could tell, there is no link between gases in
breath and what people eat, though the researchers made sure to throw in
their bias against meat eaters, claiming that they fuel the climate
crisis to a much higher degree than vegetarians and vegans.
The study also only looked at greenhouse gas emissions from
breath. The researchers did not provide any kind of estimate as to a
person’s total emissions or their overall carbon footprint.
“I love global warming,” one commenter wrote. “It encourages us to breathe so plants can become green.”
“Well, we all knew this was bound to happen!” wrote another.
“I would like to suggest that Dr. Nicholas Cowan be the first to
put a plastic bag over his head, duct tape the bag to his body and make
certain there are no gaps, and breathe deeply to reduce the population!”

Experts Declare Experimental Cancer Vaccine Based On mRNA Technology Is ‘Safe and Effective’
A new cancer vaccine based on Covid mRNA vaccine technology
which has yet to be clinically tested has already been declared “safe
and effective” by the British government.
Known as ‘LungVax’,
the new vaccine is being developed by the University of Oxford, the
Francis Crick Institute and University College London, and is expected
to be the first of a huge range of new cancer vaccinations available in
the near future.
Research scientists developing the ‘groundbreaking’ lung cancer
vaccine claim it will be effective in preventing up to 90 per cent of
cases by training the immune system to locate and attack early signs of
disease.
Lung cancer cells look different from normal cells due to having ‘red
flag’ proteins called neoantigens. The LungVax vaccine will carry a strand of DNA which trains the immune system to recognize these neoantigens on abnormal lung cells.
It will then instruct the immune system to destroy these cells and stop lung cancer.
Professor Tim Elliot, lead researcher at the University of Oxford, said: ‘Cancer
is a disease of our own bodies and it’s hard for the immune system to
distinguish between what’s normal and what’s cancer.
‘Getting the immune system to recognize and attack cancer is one of the biggest challenges in cancer research today.”
Elliot admitted the new vaccine is based on technology used to create the Covid vaccine.
‘This research could deliver an off-the-shelf vaccine based on
Oxford’s vaccine technology, which proved itself in the Covid pandemic.
Remarkably, given the disastrous health consequences for those
vaccinated with the experimental Covid vaccines, Eilliot praised the
mRNA roll out as a success.
‘If we can replicate the kind of success seen in trials during
the pandemic, we could save the lives of tens of thousands of people
every year in the UK alone.’
Researchers have been granted up to £1.7 million from Cancer Research UK and the CRIS Cancer Foundation.
The team will receive funding for the study over the next 2 years to
support lab research and initial manufacturing of 3,000 doses of the
vaccine at the Oxford Clinical BioManufacturing Facility.
If successful, the vaccine will move straight into a clinical trials,
involving those at biggest risk of disease, such as current and former
smokers who currently qualify for targeted lung health checks in some
parts of the UK.
Elon Musk’s X must be “shut down” by government because dangerous “conspiracy theories” are spreading on the social media platform, according to British TV host Jeremy Vine.
“If there any argument to say, and this will sound crazy, but
China does it, we’ve got to now take control of Twitter and shut it down
for the time being,” said Vine.
Vine made the comments earlier this week during a heated debate
regarding speculation surrounding the health and whereabouts of Kate
Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
Boomers have become obsessed with speculating that Middleton has died or is severely unwell and that the Royal Family is hiding it because she hasn’t been seen in months after an operation.
The manipulation of a series of photo of Middleton and her children also only served to fuel the rumors, as some sources close to the princess claimed she had been murdered by the royal family.
However, instead of dismissing the whole issue for what it is, a pointless distraction that will disappear once Middleton makes a public appearance around Easter, Vine called for draconian measures.
Modernity report:
Ah yes, the Communist dictatorship of China, which shuts down the Internet to clamp down on dissent and enhance its repression of undesirables.
That’s definitely who we should be mimicking, Jeremy.
Throughout the COVID pandemic, Vine’s show was a platform for some of the most vulgar, authoritarian drivel imaginable.
One show asked if children who are unvaccinated should be banned from schools or made to wear special badges.
Another asked, “Is it time to ban the unvaccinated from traveling?”
Vine has made a name for himself as being a dutiful amplifier of regime messaging, while his annoying side hobby of biking around London looking to film confrontations with motorists has also angered many.
