Mooners40's argument is that because life requires CO2, adding CO2 to the atmosphere is not a problem. This is like telling a drowning man that he has nothing to worry about because water is vital to life.
Yes - life on Earth is totally dependent on CO2 both because plants use it to manufacture food and because it keeps the world warm. But CO2 is potent stuff - just 280 molecules in each million air molecules is all it takes. It doesn't take much additional CO2 to have a dramatic impact.
the medieval warm period was warmer than now - with high co2 - what caused the high co2? Industrialisation? co2 is the result - the product - not the driver of temperature increase
Yes - increasing temperature does cause an increase in CO2. But if you think this means that the effect doesn't also work the other way you are totally wrong.
What makes our current situation so dangerous is a positive feedback effect: more CO2 => higher temperature => more CO2.
@SciFive co2 is not bad and not a pollutant - and not the driver of temperature - it does not cause temperatures to rise - more co2 just means better plants - no problem
another ignorant moron who has no idea what he's talking about.
Get with the programme fool

if we imagine - yeh right dream on-
pollution isnt good but life requires co2
so this is bullshit.
You may as well ask us to not breath.
Why hasnt America the biggest polluter not ratified the Kyoto agreement?
Al gore is a scam artist hypocrite and you bought his bullshit,
They're hijacking the common erpson's desire to do good and making us criminals when those who make laws on pollution are negligent.
The sun is increases earth temp.
C02 is the result not cause.
It's all tax n money lies
