I am offended, just like an old-fashioned feminist. So, Im sure, is Mother Gaia herself. Offended, because Obamas Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has just officially declared carbon dioxide (CO2) to be a poison. (Sigh.)
You cant even expel air anymore without ticking off our PC commissars.
Did you know you can die from drinking too much distilled water? Or from breathing too much pure oxygen? Oxidation products actually kill people they cause a huge variety of fatal diseases. The only solution is to stop breathing.
All the molecules of life are also molecules of death. The old medicos used to say, Its the dose that makes the poison. Perfectly safe substances can kill you if you take enough of them, or if you use the wrong channels to put them into your body. Inject fresh mountain air into your veins and youre dead. You can choke on a nice big vitamin pill.
All substances are potential poisons, but if youre Obamas EPA you make it CO2. Wonder why?...

>What is the optimal level of CO2 in the atmosphere? (it is currently .03%)
I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be 5% or higher.
OMIGOD!!!
That’s the stuff they put in soda!!!!!
It is truly absurd, especially since the premise being used to ram this down our throats is wrong (global warming).
CO2 in the current cooling environment is good across the board, from whatever small warming effect to increased crop production.
Drill here, drill now! Nuclear ASAP! GOP 2010!
As a public service, I call upon algore to do his part to help the environment by discontinuing his own CO2 emissions.
ok....so everyone who is concerned about “climate change” stop breathing. any questions?
Can we strangle a few liberals first?
Rather than using .03%, let's use part per million so I don't have to convert stuff.
Minimum CO2 needed in atmosphere is 200 ppm.
Less than that, and plant life starts dying off.
1000 ppm will kill mammals and probably birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, etc.
Maybe insects would be OK.
750 ppm makes humans "light headed" and somewhat confused, so let's say a maximum "safe" range for humans is probably 700 ppm.
Present CO2 level is approx. 380 to 385 ppm.
My guess, "optimum" level for CO2 would probably be 450 to 500 ppm.
It would be good for agriculture, and still be well within the safe range for human life.
This is a joke.
Where in the Constitution does it set up provisions for the EPA?
Re your post #28:......It’s hilarious!
Another idiotic edict from the EPA maroons to ignore.
That was a superb analysis.
For all of those who think that man has control of the planet,
I think we should double the current level of CO2 to reach ‘optimal’.
What in the unholy hell is that?
'Cause his EPA is filled with Watermelons, just like him. Green on the outside, Red on the inside.
Victim...Officer he was breathing in my direction.
Office: Shut up or I will have to arrest you for emitting CO2.
Victim: well them arrest your self your breathing on me..
Office: shoots victim...says...OK now more breathing in the name of the Olaw
Authorized powers of various agencies were consolidated into the EPA.
A history of the EPA is at the link below.

“Must get rid of this dangerous stuff right now:”

It’s too late! The rivers, lakes, even the oceans are literally full of it now. We will have to live with it.
Farmers use greenhouses to raise their CO2 for a more optimal level for plant growth. Many believe we are deficient on CO2, global alarmist don't agree.
we do know that man contributes about 3.4% of the total CO2. If we continued on our present course we can never get to a toxic.
As you can see in this chart I personally think we are deficient on CO2:
So am I reading this right?
Does that graph show that CO2 concentrations have
been on the decline for the last 175 million years?
Is the blue line ‘temperature’?
(if yes, then what is(are) the ‘red’ line(s)?)
