No one who knows anything says that CO2 is a "pollutant." You hear it all the time, and frequently from those who should know better. As if repeating it long enough and loud enough will transmogrify a nonsensical assertion into a fact.. No one denies that it is essential to life. None of the greenies and global warming alarmists will acknowledge it either.. But no one who knows anything would say that it is simply "benign." Plenty of those whose scientific credentials far exceed my layman's grasp state that current and projected levels of atmospheric CO2 have, and will have, a minuscule effect on the global climate. These is no consensus on the effects, if any, of human emitted greenhouse gasses on the overall climate, in spite of the religious fervor of the GW alarmists.. Too much of it in the atmosphere, and the planet will warm up. Straw dog. Too much of anything will cause changes. Drink too much water and you will OD and die.. The availability of inexpensive and realistic energy sources is of far greater importance to our way of life than "climate change" hysteria. As I said, when the greenie agenda causes severe economic pain, which it will, then there will be a backlash. Count on it..
