CO2 is .04% of the air we breathe. The air we breathe is predominantly Nitrogen 78%, 21% Oxygen and the remaining 1% is all the other gases of which CO2 a part.
NOT YOU I WAS YELLING AT AL BORE (aka Al Gore)
Ban ALL weight loss products! Metabolizing fat produces water and CO2!

Time to pull the plug on that albatross!
Carbon dioxide is life itself.
How can abundant life be a dangerous pollutant?
These demons are otta their skulls.

You think you’re joking, but that is exactly what their goal is: Destroy Yehova’s creation.

To those that hate life and its creator, it is a pollutant.

The six so-called key greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride.
What a load of Horse manure (methane).
“...85 percent of the U.S. economy runs on fossil fuels that emit carbon dioxide.” And 100% of mammals (which includes we humans) emit carbon dioxide...
SCOTUS ruled that CO2 was a pollutant in 2007, in the case of Massachusetts vs EPA. It was a 5-4 decision with Kennedy voting with the 4 dems.
Additionally, SCOTUS said that EPA should determine the risk that CO2 played, which would be called the Endangerment Findings, and if needed EPA should use the Clean Air Act to regulate CO2, which means EPA needs nothing from congress.
Back in those days everyone said it would be better for congress to preempt EPA, which was called the House Cap and Trade bill, but after that failed, in 2010, Obama would move forward with EPA regulating.
Obama's first set of CO2 regs dealt with new permits only, which generated many lawsuits in 2010. That had to go all the way back to SCOTUS who ruled for Obama in 2014.
Also in 2014, Obama would issue his second set of regs, that deals with existing permits, which was/is called the Clean Power Plan. This set off another round of lawsuits. The DC Court of Appeals has heard the case and is supposed to rule on the case in Feb. After which, if they get a 9th on SCOTUS, it can be appealed to SCOTUS.
I believe they took this to the Supreme court and won,not sure
The SCOTUS needs to hear this case again.
Uh...Chemistry nor Science are subject to legal debate.
A court declaring CO2 a pollutant is nonsense.
I sincerely hope for The Donald to declare CO2 one of America’s most valuable natural resources.
I’ve got a compost pile that’s pumping out robust quantities thereof.
Goal: 1500 ppm for a Greener Earth!
The tagline is my advice for the pussyhats.
