Question for the mask experts

[canceled.2021.2]

If one wears a mask won’t they rebreathe their own CO2?

And isn’t CO2 a greenhouse gas that causes warming?

Therefore won’t people who wear masks overheat their innards?

Just reading the blurb preview of your post got this 90's classic playing in my head.

You could say that about BLMtifa rioters.

By the way, you are not breathing in a bunch CO2 by wearing a mask. Breathing CO2 like your example would equate would cause you to suffocate. Maybe take 7th-grade science again.

I have that moron on ignore. Is he actually claiming that wearing a home-made fabric or consumer-grade mask will increase the CO2 level in your blood? I'm just shocked that the people I see in stores -- as well as the medical professionals I worked with in my career -- aren't dropping like flies. lol

He's trying some crazed argument about global warming because we breathe CO2 wearing our masks. Well, that's what I got from the discussion preview anyway.

OIC. Hahahaha. Not worth taking the idiot off ignore to seeit.

I thought it was hilarious. The same idiots that believe in the Church of Global Warming and the harmful magickal effects of CO2 suddenly have no problem with the stuff increasing in their bloodstream due to the use of masks!

Well, *anything* that impedes flow through the airway will increase the CO2 level in the blood lol.

If you doubt me, hold your breath and watch what happens to your blood CO2. Just don’t hold too long, 30 seconds should be plenty.

Stop promoting misinformation by using stupid examples like equating holding your breath with breathing through a mask. It makes you look like an idiot.

Well, you’re wrong.

Anything that impedes airflow into the lungs is going to increase blood CO2 level. Masks included. Granted, if you’re just standing there during a surgery or walking through a store it’s not going to be significant. But that can change when you start asking people to wear masks doing anything like strenuous work.

Cover your face with a mask and take a brisk walk and you will instinctively pull it down pretty quick. That’s your brain telling you about your blood O2/CO2 levels.

It is the same thing, Ms. Owl.

Actually, it does. Anything that restricts breathing (including cloth or N95 masks) will raise the CO2 level in the blood. It does not cause people to drop dead, since there is an allowable range of CO2 levels in the blood without any ill effect.

See my thread entitled "Science."

Please.
