Environment: Al Gore has conned a world into thinking that carbon dioxide is harmful, and the Supreme Court has ordered the federal government to classify it as a pollutant. Gee, why are they so anti-green?

From all the hype, you'd think CO2 is an environmental toxin on the level of nuclear fallout, a big threat to our existence.

It's not. As any fourth-grader knows, carbon dioxide is necessary for life on Earth. Without it, there's no plant life, and hence no animals and no humans — exactly what some of the more radical misanthropic eco-activists want.

CO2's importance has become obvious to two researchers who found that the Earth, drenched in carbon dioxide, has become a lush sphere of green — far from the charred-brown, hardly habitable orb that environmental activists have been telling us we'll inherit if we don't change our fossil fuel habit.

Using NASA satellite technology, Steven Running of the University of Montana and Ramakrishna Nemani of NASA discovered that over the last two decades the Earth's green content has increased by 6.2%. On one quarter of the plant-covered landmass, vegetation has increased significantly, with decreases in plant life in only 7% of the landmass.

The plants, if I recall correctly, absorb the CO2 (that they use for food), and excrete oxygen. So even if there was a surplus of CO2, it would not be for long, as the plants would absorb it, then give off more oxygen. So, then, the CO2 would be good for the environment, thus eliminating the argument and theory of the Dems and eco-terrorists

Run for your lives! The plants are taking over!

The world is upside down and crazy. Where does it end?
