The Other Poison Gas Killing Syrians: Carbon Dioxide Emissions
thenation.com ^ | April 18, 2017 | Juan Cole

If Trump and his cronies really cared about children killed by noxious gases, they wouldn’t be trying to spew ever more CO2 into the atmosphere.

The gas attack in Syria on April 4 consumed the world’s attention and galvanized the Trump White House, leading to the launch of 59 cruise missiles on a small airport from which the regime of Bashar al-Assad has been bombing the fundamentalist rebels in Idlib province. The pictures of suffering children, Trump said, had touched him. Yet the president and most of his party are committed to increasing the daily release of hundreds of thousands of tons of a far more deadly gas—carbon dioxide. Climate scientist James Hansen has described our current emissions as like setting off 400,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs each day, every day of the year.

Trump and the climate-destroyers he brought into office with him such as Rex Tillerson and Scott Pruitt are not driven by compassion for victims. They are animated by a callous and rapacious search for profits for themselves and their cronies. If they cared about children killed by noxious gases, they wouldn’t want to ban Syrian refugees like the Kurdis from the United States. Nor would they want to spew ever more tons of the most noxious gas of all into the blue skies of the only planetary home the human race has.

These people have passed the edge of sanity into a complete psychotic breakdown.

Fun to watch.

MAGA!

CO2 is plant food.
Without it, life itself would be impossible.

Science uses the scientific method.

Climate “science” does not.

Any questions?

This is so Wrong, we have Millions of the Brightest, Smartest, Tolerant, Most Sensitive Generation of youngins That have been trained in Conflict Resolution and Making Peace their Whole Lives through Love, Tolerance and Understanding. They could have Straightened All this out in Short Order if we Sent a few Hundred Thousand over to Syria to make nice and sing happy songs with ISIS.

There is absolutely no proof that CO2 is poison. Only a diseased liberal mind can make this up. CO2 is heavier than air and will displace oxygen causing suffocation form lack of oxygen in a confined space but exposure to CO2 will not poison you.

They believe Socialism works

They believe you can change your gender

They believe guns kill people

They believe poor people are the engine of the economy

They believe Islam is the religion of peace.

There is no bottom to the level of insanity

Lethal concentration of Chlorine ca 50 ppm. Sarine is about 500 times as toxic.

Present atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration about 400 ppm - and we are still living and breathing.

Someone should go home and read some basic science.....

You are right, they have definitely passed the edge of sanity.

Increased CO2 in the atmophere helps increase the efficiency of plant photosynthesis, which cuts down on water evaporating from plant leaves. Therefore plants have become more drought tolerant.
