"Nixon was not a crook." You are an idiot! Read history! "CO2 is NOT a pollutant." I guess you live in your own Dumb Ass world! kimointernational.org Humans pollute their environment big time. There is no goof unaware of this? Are YOU unaware?? Why do you think we have THOUSANDS of regulatory rules?? CO2 levels rise and they fall. You are smart enough to understand that--aren't you?? There are benefits to increased CO2. And there is extreme harm. The harms outweigh the benefits--according to 99.9% of scientists. So be an ass, if you wish. You are not even involved. You are just a punk mouthing off on SI before another fishing trip at 4am with some kids. So get some attention, punk. You live for it! ;-)

"CO2 is NOT a pollutant” Every Government and every scientific body on the planet disagrees with you. Walk into ANY University and talk to ANY professor or ANY first year student. Generally any substance that people introduce into the atmosphere that has damaging effects on living things and the environment is considered air pollution. The fact that things are natural (such as lead, sulphur dioxide, pottery glazes, and so forth) is irrelevant to the conclusion. According to the Blacksmith Institute as reported by Scientific American, these are the top ten pollutant problems: “artisanal gold mining; contaminated surface water; contaminated groundwater; indoor air pollution; metals smelting and processing; industrial mining; radioactive waste and uranium mining; untreated sewage; urban air quality; and used lead–acid battery recycling.” The degree to which carbon dioxide will be considered a pollutant will depend on the developing science around global warming. Because when carbon dioxide is referred to as a substance that has “damaging effects on human beings”, it is in this context of global warming--and not as competition to mercury or lead poisoning! LOL! Keep in mind that beneficial things can also be termed pollutants, when they are introduced in harmful quantities or inappropriate venues. Also, do not forget that your pretense against pollution is simply a contrived bit of acting, marshalled in order to bring extremists on side with your superstitions in the "Christian" world view. You know that extremists tend to lump things together, so your "thought" (my apologies to rats and monkeys -g- is that if you can imply that scientists are wrong about pollution...then perhaps they are wrong about Evolution and about the bronze-age absurdity of biblical myth? Perhaps every text in every library in every school on the planet simply represents a conspiracy of scientists to unfairly expose tribal tales as mythic--when they are actually historical and scientific! ;-) WHOOOO!
