Just my thoughts on the toxicity of CO2:
Everybody at the EPA who really believes CO2 is a toxin should be fired on the spot. By what criteria did they come to that conclusion? Every time you exhale, the level of CO2 in your breath is upwards of 4% (40,000 ppm.) A level 100 times greater than the current 'dangerously high' level in the atmosphere.
CO2 is deemed a toxin by the government so that it may potentially eliminate its producers as government deems it necessary. I'm waiting for the brainiacs who have vilified carbon dioxide to become alarmist over the high level of nitrogen in the atmosphere. Fifth grade science has been ignored by the wizards of smart for decades and modern education is a sham.
I know and understand the 'Watermelons' goals here. CO2 from energy production and transportation are what allows us and Western Civlization to thrive. By having control over CO2 emissions, the greens can literally control/destroy the entire country.
You are correct. I have been reading and studying energy and energy production since I was in high school (1965 grad.) I am deeply saddened by he level of ignorance in the general population concernng these matters. The infiltration of academia by collectivist ideologues are using green propaganda to convert the students into mindless automatons.
I also occasionally hear Venus used as proof of CO2's ability to heat the planet, which is absolutely nonsense.
@Issunbo, As far as I now, all of what you say is true. In addition, Venus is a great deal closer to the Sun, so by the inverse square law of heat radiance, at 67 million miles from the Sun, it receives roughly twice the solar energy as Earth. So not just geothermal heat. That much heat here would have killed off life long ago, without "Climate Change."
Meanwhile back on Earth, anyone who chooses to actually look at the CO2 record will find a steady decline in the last several thousand years. If the trend continued, all plant life would have died soon. The human contribution of about 3% to the CO2 in modern times will have delayed the death of plant life by a few hundred years.
