You eat carbohyrates to provide calories for energy - this 'fuels' what you do. Whatever you do, you burn the fuel for energy and then breathe out carbon dioxide - a process called 'respiration' - you need burn the same as you consume If you run too far/fast you will either run out of fuel, or run 'out of breath' - because you have produced too much carbon dioxide.

We are burning up a lot of the world's fossil fuel for energy: coal, oil and gas - this 'fuels' what we do. As we make and do more, we burn more fuel for energy in the process called 'industrialisation', emitting more carbon dioxide - are we burning too much fuel? We are running out of fuel, CO2 emissions collect in the upper atmosphere, trapping warm air, so warming the world - because we have produced too much carbon dioxide.
