We go around and around on this issue and get nowhere. CO2 in limited quantities is good; in excess, its a greenhouse gas and a pollutant. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

CO2 is such a weak greenhouse gas and the climate science is in state of infancy that it is not clear when or if ever (assuming all the fossil fuels were burned) that there would be an excess.


Weak or otherwise its getting dumped into the atmosphere in increasing quantities. As CO2 concentrations in the stmosphere go thru the roof, the two poles are melting like they are on fire, the seas are rising and global temps are increasing. Coincidence? I think not. A weak greenhouse gas? For a weak gas its damn effective.

And how can possibly a life giving element, CO2, supporting all life on planet be a pollutant?

Too much of a good thing?

Well, take a president Obama who appoints complete imbeciles into EPA and a fuel for life on planet becomes a pollutant.

You're an idiot.......and more importantly, an ideologue. There is no reasoning with an ideologue. Good nite!

Sigh.

Pretty easily, actually. Anything can be a pollutant if the levels are high enough. If we were emitting, say, oxygen at a rate high enough to double its concentration, it certainly would be considered a pollutant. It already is if you consider the O3 form, which life depends on to keep UV under control.

This really isn't a viable argument.
