CBC goes there too now: Tells asthmatics to stop using inhalers
The climate impacts of inhalers are zero considering the margin of error in measurements and models – but yeah, let’s tell asthmatics to discontinue using their inhalers.

They failed to put this in context – a typical human’s breathing over the course of the year emits twice the level of CO2 as the CO2 climate equivalent of the worst case inhaler used every day. And this is about 1% of the CO2 equivalent produced by a typical American home and life activities or 2% of a typical European home.
