Some of the news today is the finding of increased methane emissions in the northern climes.

Well, which is worse as a greenhouse gas: CO2 or methane? I vote methane.

And, what is the easiest way to get rid of methane? Why, burn it (or oxidize it) of course.

And then, what are the byproducts? CO2 and H2O!

And here's another riddle for all those farmers out there who want subsidies to make alcohol as a fuel supplement: When sugared components are fermented to create ethyl alcohol, what byproducts are generated by the billions of yeast cells? Why, CO2 of course!

Trying to regulate CO2 is one of the most foolish endeavors ever undertaken by the political class and those politicized scientists. CO2 is a byproduct of life itself; the only way to get rid of it is to halt the creation of new life.

"Unintended consequences" may not be unintended after all.
