Well, 17 years ago, five Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court held that carbon dioxide fell within the Clean Air Act's statutory definition of "air pollutant." Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497 (2007). That decision is what kickstarted today's "climate agenda" in the U.S.
What was the Supreme Court's excuse, I wonder?
Same.
Anything can be a pollutant. If the air was all oxygen, that wouldn’t work either.
FJR ... That man thinks he is a prince you know.
Name alignment on that vote?
They were mostly or all Democrats?
Without Carbon Dioxide or Oxygen all life on earth would die.
Carbon Dioxide is plant food which produces oxygen. Most of which comes from the sea algae. The sea is the lungs of the earth. The great Amazon forest produce much oxygen via photosynthesis. When they die of age the termites eat them and turn them into termite farts called methane which is a global warming gas far greater than CO2. Fortunately methane has a relative short half live in the atmosphere and then becomes CO2 in just a few short years. It last much longer than methane.
The Amazon forests do help in Co2 levels. All the organic matter that is sweep down the river is deposited into the sea and buried. Over the eons it becomes shale and limestone and is thus sequestered CO2. Today you can see this in our mountains of shale and limestone.
Algae in our seas are the lungs of the earth. They give us oxygen via photosynthesis and then conveniently die and fall to the bottom of the sea and take their carbon with them and become carbonaceous mud soon to become limestone and mountains millions of years later.
