The power mad FREAKS that rule this Earth have deemed this life giving molecule as a POLLUTANT.
Nobody is saying that naturally occurring CO2 is a pollutant. But the Supreme Court has ruled that CO2 emissions from cars and power plants meets the EPA definition of a pollutant. The operative concept here is that this is man-made CO2 that is of concern. So quit worrying about the naturally occurring CO2.

What you don't understand, or choose to ignore, is that science has been POLLUTED with politics.
No Bueno me amigo.
It is so obvious.
Perhaps you're young.
I'm 50, btw
One thing I learned growing up is that elders aren’t as knowledgeable as one thinks they are.
Sure, they have knowledge in their respective fields/experiences. But bring something new that goes against their narrative, either they’re intrigued, or they refuse to learn and think “how dare a younger person thinks they know more than me”

YES! It's time to bring this voodoo back to the SCOTUS!
The left have been chasing Russians, and CO2 molecules...
Flailing comes to mind.
The left are rudderless after the fall of the USSR; poor things.
I think you nees it more friend.
Obviously you didn’t star this thread for a debate since you’ve made up your mind. But I posted some info so folks can see both sides of the arguement. Right down to how credible your source is...

"Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity.
For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present -- and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."
Part of Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address

We should be asking why Trump's government is peddling this blatantly obvious climate change hoax. Seriously folks, his government is peddling the biggest lie in history (aside from evolution) and you just sit around and say nothing. It's time to stop being a bunch of mindless cheerleaders and start demanding some accountability! It's baffling that this is the same agency that sent men to the moon. #defundNASA&NOAA
