Prof at The Nation: CO2 'A Far More Deadly Gas' in Syria Than Assad's Chemical Weapons
newsbusters.org ^ | 4/23/2017 | Tom Blumer

On the day after Earth Day's "March for Science," it seems appropriate to point to a column by University of Michigan History Professor Juan Cole in The Nation, a far-far-left publication considered a credible and authoritative go-to-source by the liberal intelligentsia.

On April 18, Cole, echoing statements made during their final years by Barack Obama and his administration's officials with establishment press acquiescence, nonsensically claimed that Syria's biggest problem during the past decade has been ... carbon dioxide. Hardly.

According to Cole, CO2 is "a far more deadly gas" than what was used in "the gas attack in Syria on April 4" which has been tied by most intelligence sources to dictator Bashir Assad.

So, if the Hemi starts emitting sarin gas, I'm doing a good thing? This is all getting a bit much. Okay concerned scientists, a little q and a for ya. With your illustrious PhDs this shouldn't take long:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Feel free to ad your own questions.

Get Real ,,, this is pure Bull$h!+ ,, only the truly uneducated would believe this crap ,, for instance ,, high school and college age youths along with their dumb a$$ parents perhaps . The lib politicians push it because they know it will give them more power and control over the general population .

Maryland has had auto emissions testing for over 20 years and it has not done anything to change the air quality in the slightest by their own admission . One volcano erupting can cancel out any small amount of effect the libs would hope to gain and still life continues to go on just fine .

Get Real !!!!

What evidence do the neocons at “newsbusters” have that it was Assad - and not the jihadi rebels - who used poison gas?

Folks, folks, calm down.

Thanks to progressives, any “Professor” of libarts (and history has been sucked into this cesspool) is as much a professor as is that yokel Al Gore.

This clown would be stumped by an elementary stats course, and completely eviscorated by a first year calculus course.

Professor, my Obamahole.

Say or do something outrageous and get attention for whatever cause you are pushing.

Disguised as a hit on leftist Cole, this “newsbusters” article is just part of the drumbeat for the US to go to war against Assad. Apparently not enough Syrian Christians have been killed by the rebels yet, so the US has to push the process along by doing a regime change that puts the rebels in power. Thanks, “newsbusters”
