I don't that suffices at all. That sounds like "well, the earth can handle a little, so it obviously can handle waaaaay more".
Electricity generation, transportation, heavy industry... those are the things that are usually listed as major polluters. Human exhaling of CO2 has got to be really far down any list of major contributors to greenhouse gases. I'm no science guy, but I've read a few things and I've never seen it. Maybe it is though, I don't know. I doubt it.
Reduce emissions sure, I am all for it. But there are better ways of doing it.
If you are talking about Kyoto then I agree. It doesn't look like it'll do much of anything.
