True - but salt in the ocean isn't a pollutant. If we tip a million tons of salt in the ocean, it's not a pollutant. If we tip a million tons of salt in my garden, it's a pollutant. 100 tons of salt in a fresh water aquaculture farm would be a pollutant - actually, a contaminant rather than a pollutant. The reason CO2 in air is called a pollutant is to arouse emotions in the ignorant. It's a loaded word. People will falsely be frightened to breathe the air because of the "pollution" with CO2. When people are not honest, it implies they are being dishonest because they don't have sound arguments. Honesty is far more convincing than dishonesty. Used car salesmen were notoriously dishonest. Lawyers are notoriously dishonest. People trust people who are honest. When they read about Climategate, data manipulation and selection, hiding of trends, and fraud, they sensibly conclude, even if they don't understand "The Science" that it's probably crook. Mqurice
