Title: Oops – Perhaps carbon is more important than the governor realizes

Ice Age Now  March 18, 2020 by Robert

Fiercely anti-hydrocarbon governor Cuomo from New York just ostentatiously presented a massive roll out of prison-made hand sanitizer with the main, active component being isopropyl alcohol.

Seems the guv is ignorant of the fact that propene (propylene) is a main component of isopropyl alcohol and is a product that comes from refined oil/gas.

“Cuomo says New York inmates will produce 100,000 gallons of hand sanitizer a week to help combat coronavirus,” reads the title.

Don’t forget carbon makes diamonds.

And a very famous beautiful blonde once said “Diamonds are a girls best friend”

Unless Hortas are found somewhere underground, we're all carbon-based life-forms.

The carbon atom is indispensable to life.

And those who do not like carbon should go ahead and end it as there is no choice.
