The Carbon Cycle used to taught in high school biology. Perhaps the new Common Core curriculum leaves that out.
Anyone who paid attention in 4th grade should know that.
I’ve heard the justification for the Global Warming hoax as
“if we admit that there is no global warming, people will pollute”.
Sarcasm tag added with extreme prejudice!!!
OK look. I’m not at all taking a “there is horrible global warming and we’re going to die” position here, but this is perhaps the most ignorant article I’ve ever read. Of COURSE there are benefits to CO2. Pretzels are made with lye. There is cyanide in apple seeds. But it doesn’t mean any are harmless.
But CO2 in high concentrations is toxic and WILL KILL YOU. Making it sound like cool tea on a hot Southern day is stupid and dangerous.
Townhall, or whatever it is, needs a thorough review of who writes for it as I see a large raft of ignorance emanating from it. That is not a political position but a factual one.
Unbelievable.
The problem with this article is that SCOTUS ruled that CO2 is a pollutant.
The original pollution (hundreds of millions of years ago) was oxygen. It was caused by the explosive, world-wide plant and algae reproduction and growth because of the CO2 rich atmosphere. Everything was fine for millions of years until the plants put out so much oxygen it poisoned their own environment. Then all those oxygen breathing life forms developed.
What I find unbelievable are people who think CO2 is rising to harmful levels.
But CO2 in high concentrations is toxic and WILL KILL YOU.
So much for your not taking the "we're all going to die" position. If that was your intent, you failed in the 2nd paragraph.
Heck, water in high concentrations WILL KILL YOU. So will most other things.
Yep. We were taught carbon-DI-oxide was good and carbon- MON-oxide was bad.
Read the 1971 letter from Hillary to Alinsky and you’ll see just how stupid these liberals are. They cannot think for themselves. They must be TOLD what to think, what is true, etc. They can’t look it up and learn it on their own. And not only the voters, but the ones the voters vote for, too.
Plant more trees.
I love the fact that “carbon pollution” is neither “carbon” nor “pollution”
I'm doing my part. I have a nice, big, CO2-spewing compost pile. So many of us Greenies do!
They are not content with murdering only animal life forms, now they want to kill plants!
I used that in a discussion with a liberal young teacher, who my daughter was dating. He was horrified to hear I did not recycle, I told him I am balancing my no recycling and driving an suv by tending to 160 acres of trees that are sucking up all my CO2 emissions and yours and hundreds of others, do I get any credit for that?
“Heck, water in high concentrations WILL KILL YOU.”
Is that the same thing as dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO)?
Knew a man who died from drinking that stuff. It was a case of internal drowning.
Normal background levels are 250-350 ppm.
A normal room with adequate ventilation is usually between 350-1000 ppm.
Workplace requirements limit someone to 5,000 ppm in an 8 hr period.
Environuts are screaming about 400 ppm.
Yes, too much CO2 is deadly. But to get to those levels in an open atmosphere would be near impossible.
Most things in "high concentrations is toxic" will kill you. The war against CO2 is BS.
