He was on the Don Wade and Roma show on WLS this morning. The entire bill is predicated on the assertion that having more CO2 in the atmosphere is a bad thing and that a warmer, rather than colder, climate is also a bad thing. The reality is that we are long, long, long past the place where adding more CO2 to the air can have any effect on atmospheric temperature. The largest effect takes place between 0 and about 100 ppm. After that the effect rapidly levels off so that if we were to quadruple atmospheric CO2 there would be little discernible effect on global temperatures. On the other hand, there is such a thing as too little CO2. If there is less than 200 ppm, there is no plant growth. Doubling CO2, however, would result in almost optimal plant growth and reduce plants’ water requirements. Increasing the tiny amount of atmospheric CO2 is the easiest way possible of increasing plant growth.

He still is on...now talking health care....I don’t think Don Wade was very tough on him at all.

How can he not support drill here drill now????
