Why do you have to distort? Because that's how the game is played. You start with the self evident premise that pollution is bad. No one can argue with that. And now that real pollution (in the West, not in China or India or the 3rd world) is well under control (new cars are essentially pollution free, for example), you move on to the bogus assertion that carbon dioxide (a benign gas that's essential for life and indeed is plant food) is a "pollutant" responsible for "global warming" and "climate change" that cause fires and floods and drought and drowning baby polar bears, etc., etc., etc.. By convincing the ignorant populace (including some posters here) that CO2 is a real "pollutant", and labeling it as such with a constant drum beat in the mainstream media and (worse) in public schools, the true purpose of those advocating the greenie agenda becomes quite clear. Control. Implementing an even more statist command economy. Control carbon and you control almost every aspect of our civilization. It's going to take a substantial hit to our standard of living before the inevitable backlash occurs. We're all going to pay for this nonsense. And pay and pay and pay...
