The others sides argument would be that we are releasing CO2 that was "fixed" into oil and coal millions of years ago all at once. My argument would be that we could have "super plants" if the CO2 level got too high. I don't even believe that could happen unless someone shows me some real data. I'm tired of the "sky is falling" religion of the eco wacko's. They can no longer get away with spewing data out without a challenge from real science. It's like saying Obama has our interests at heart because he is president of ALL the people. He still a Dem and has the wrong ideas about almost everything. I'm sure the Soviets believed they were doing the right thing all the way into bankruptcy. If the eco wacko's had picked sulfur dioxide or some other gas, maybe they could make some points, but to make exhaling a crime is never going to catch on unless they want to volunteer first to stop. It has become more and more obvious that these are just left wing nuts wanting to redistribute wealth to poorer nations. Everybody produces CO2, but the 3rd world gets money while we pay money.
The Dems won't rest until we are all on mopeds and living in tar paper shacks with one eco bulb hanging from an extension cord. If you press them they will even admit this is their goal. Think that's far fetched? Look at their ideas on being a super power. They openly admit they feel ashamed that we are the last world super power. They would give money to see Iran have nukes just to balance the world out and keep us on our heels. Just look at Clinton giving rocket tech to China allowing them to build rockets that will reach America. If he hadn't done that, they would be 10 years behind building even a 2 stage rocket. If we get carbon taxes, most of the money will end up in China. Bet on it.
