Beam me to Planet Gore !
If we go ahead and KILL all the green growing things on this earth that require CO2 for food (and in return put out oxygen), we can solve the problem overnight. We will all be dead. No problem then.
Listen if you have to read a site to tell you that your already making concessions to the enviro marxist common sense tells you all you need to know. If I hear about how its been cooling over the last 10 years I am going to puke who cares its all bs and by saying idiotic things like that you open yourself to compromise which is no different from submission. I dont need a scientist to tell me that a entity as large and old (3 billions years) with as many complexities as the earth and ecosystem that man by breathing and driving cars is going to destroy the planet. Wake the hell up and see there is no argument man is not God and has no way of comprehending something so vast and complex.
ONLY if SCOTUS reverses itself.
No dah....
Since first grade and all through school, we were taught CO2 was needed for plant life.
No, I did not go to school in the States.
P.S.
With the exception of 2 months in Indiana. I was in 3rd grade.
More proof that many environmentalists are communists who care nothing for the environment.
The truth is, just about anything in high enough concentrations becomes a pollutant, that is, life threatening. Remember, the solution to pollution is dilution.
Instead of pegging the level at some arbitrary time (what, 1960s levels?), they should take data from over the last 65 million years, or if they want to, since the lower Paleolithic (about 2.5 million years ago - you should at least include a couple of ice ages) and look at the highs a lows of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Then, find the mean and calculate two standard deviations out. Anything higher and the EPA could get involved to lower the levels. Anything lower than two standard deviations from the mean and they could get involved to try and increase CO2 levels. Terra-forming at its best.
But this idea is completely separate from the idea of global-warming. That's all about the sun.
Their idea is all about control.
My 7th grade Natural Science course taught me photosynthesis. Also taught me the plants (trees, grasses and such) absorb CO2, process it, grow, and push out Oxygen. This simply means, more CO2, more and better plants; which make more oxygen for us mammals to breathe (dolphins, whales, humans, monkeys, etc). Less CO2, less plants, and that means less oxygen. Less oxygen means people and critters develop breathing problems (asthma anyone), or just die.
It’s a BAD idea.
Freeman Dyson has said that carbon sequestration would be disastrous for both plant life on Earth and for the soil where it would be pumped.
I say let’s be safe and eliminate ALL CO2 in the atmosphere. I know it will cost a lot but since it is a pollutant, there should be NONE of it in the air.
I demand prez obi get rid of all CO2 ASAP!
Simple grade school science stuff, you'd think. Seems our senators should know this. I think they want to reduce the number of cows. I'm sure when/if the CO2 levels actually fall because of their caps (they really just want the money generated from the carbon offsets, etc) and they see the resultant damage to the green world, they'll need to put their heads together for a new tax to raise money to manufacture CO2 to save our forests. And still blame it on the cows. See - ch-ching - it's all good. /sarc
