Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is Not Pollution


Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant and the global warming debate has nothing to do with pollution. The average person has been misled and is confused about what the current global warming debate is about - greenhouse gases. None of which has anything to do with air pollution.

People are confusing smog, carbon monoxide (CO) and the pollutants in car exhaust with the life supporting, essential trace gas in our atmosphere - carbon dioxide (CO2). Real air pollution is already regulated under the 1970's Clean Air Act and regulating carbon dioxide (CO2) will do absolutely nothing to make the air you breath "cleaner".

NO kidding?  Plant life on this planet will be happy to hear it as it is essential to their health!

[MajorClay]

I agree.  It is plant food.

Anything can become a pollutant if there’s too much of it.

so what % of water in the ocean pollutes?

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

so what % of water in the ocean pollutes?

Enough to bring down the salinity such that saltwater based life suffers?

Ain't enough fresh water to make a significant difference in salinity......

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

Ain't enough fresh water to make a significant difference in salinity......

Probably not, but that's not the point.  Pretty much anything is a pollutant in sufficient quantity.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Probably not, but that's not the point.  Pretty much anything is a pollutant in sufficient quantity.

even though it is virtually impossible?
Right.....


You go work on the unlikely, while we concentrate on reality.

the ocean contains salt water.

What % oF salt water is a pollutant in the ocean?

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

the ocean contains salt water.

What % oF salt water is a pollutant in the ocean?

However much you would have to add to raise sea level by about 11ft.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

However much you would have to add to raise sea level by about 11ft.

What then are you polluting?  Are you saying the fish will die with more water in the ocean?  What is the magic in 11' anyway?

I believe you are confusing with a % with a physical add of more.
