Yoo-hoo.
You might think about rewording part of your explanation about carbon monoxide. I think it is a little confusing and gives the false impression that carbon is a poisonous substance which plays into the propaganda of the alarmists.
“Carbon Monoxide is what cars and trucks give off in the combustion of gasoline or diesel. This has too much carbon in it for an animal to survive very long if no fresh-air is available.”
Carbon Monoxide actually makes up a very low percentage (less than 0.7%) of car exhaust even before it has gone through the catalytic converter. Most of the exhaust is made up of carbon dioxide and water vapor. The problem is that just 667 parts per million (0.067% of total gas volume) of carbon monoxide may cause up to 50% of the body's hemoglobin to convert to carboxyhemoglobin, which may result in seizure, coma, and fatality.
Just as with hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN), Carbon Monoxide (CO) kills because it is poisonous not because it has “too much carbon”. They kill through different processes but the proportion of the elements in their molecules very relevant.
I like it, bookmarked it. The info is useful.
I fly fish and most FFers are big into global warming. The fly fishing magazines regularly print articles on it.
FFers can be a snobby bunch as it is and when it comes to climate change they really look down their noses at anyone who disagrees. I wonder how many mag subscriptions its cost them.

We need some Climate Change around here. It was so cold this morning a pigeon froze in mid-flight and just stuck there. I was talking to the mailman about it and when he went to light his cigarette the flame on his lighter froze and broke off...
No offense, but if you got fired from a BLOG you must really suck.
