You can at least agree on this, right? The carbon dioxide pollution we are sending out does have some impact on the environment and climate?

    Particulate emission with size less than 2.5 microns are not due to CO2 but due to cement and construction, mining of metals and metal processing, burning of forests or farms or grass, coal mining and usage in power plants, lot of cars travelling on the roads with many of those cars having as less as 1 passenger when a car can accomodate 4 passengers. Lot of mining activity of uranium, lithium,etc and use of nuclear power plants in Australia, France, Japan with spills and leaks. Water gets contaminated by waste streams disposed by chemical plants. Crude oil leaks into sea water with companies like Exxon involved in Valdex spill. Water, air and land are getting polluted.Disposal of debris and garbage from construction and other sources has become a problem due to scarcity of land. Its not just CO2 .

    CO2 is not pollution

  • 3 years ago

    Of course it does. But the argument is if it is the Red X Root Cause of climate change, and if that impact is even deleterious to our environment.

    Everything we do probably has some impact on the climate. Whether it is a big enough problem to worry about is another matter.

    Remember, even the experts do not blame all the warming on the direct effect of CO2. They also have to link it to the effect of H2O which they claim amplifies the CO2 affect. CO2 by itself is not an issue.

    What it does do is make the planet greener. An area equal to twice that of CONUS has been greened as a result of increased COI2 in recent years.

    We keep track of animals and the oceans because of CO2, but plant uses this terrible pollutant to live and give of their waste in Oxygen. Using some of the logic I have read and heard and since there is more plant life on the plant, should they not be called polluters. Yes, this reads as rambling but with all things political the best way to find answers in not through name calling and spinning the fact to fit your agenda, but FOLLOW THE MONEY. You may find that it leads to the deniers and the believers.

    CO2 is a vital nutrient used by plants in photosynthesis. Increasing CO2 in the atmosphere “greens” the planet and helps feed the growing human population.

    The Ctrl-Left hates Capitalism. The media and left blame extreme weather on climate change, global warming. Now, what is that caused by? What's causing climate change? Well, if you listen to them, capitalism is. Our progressive, advancing lifestyle, our SUVs, our air-conditioning is causing climate change. Our output of CO2, which is a direct result of our civilization and standard of living improving, and they blame that because they don't like capitalism. It's a threat to socialism. Socialism is where they are fully empowered. In Capitalism, they're not; they resent it.

    Anyone who knows anything about physics and is honest will agree.

    CO2 is not a pollutant and by your question, you have no understanding of the Radiative Greenhouse Effect hypothesis or AGW.
