Yeah, after all: "CO2- they call it pollution, we call it LIFE". youtube.com They Call It Pollution. We Call It Life. by JJ Sutherland A scene from one of the new ads promoting carbon dioxide from NPR.org, May 23, 2006 · The Competitive Enterprise Institute, which gets some of its funding from such companies as ExxonMobil, has released a counterstrike to Al Gore's new documentary An Inconvenient Truth. While I haven't seen the film, from the press it's getting, it's a jeremiad against global warming. CEI takes issue with that and has released two TV ads, that -- get this -- promote CO2. Now, a vast majority of scientists agree that man-made pollutants, especially CO2, are definitely causing an increase in the Earth's temperature. How fast and how much is open to debate, but pretty much everyone agrees, this is probably not a good thing. CEI's ads sound like something that Saturday Night Live (which Gore recently hosted) might come up with. Their tag line about CO2, "They call it pollution. We call it life." There are some things you just can't make up.

My point, carbon in itself is harmless but combined with oxygen through excessive mammallian activity (mostly humans imo) added to other sources has far reaching effects, not so benign.. I want to correct myself on a previous post, I used the word "correspondingly".. That's not right as much of planet's people do not eat beef.. PS: I KNOW plants love CO2.. That's why I called them sinks for CO2.. I know too how coal was formed..:) PS again: re:>>And methane has a relatively short lifespan and as it breaks down, it does form more CO2.<< That's right and what is CO2?.. :) PS, one last time: I have to move on now, Thanks for the conversation.. I'm just that way..:)
