Air pollution's alarming increase

An alarming new study points out that atmospheric carbon dioxide is increasing faster than expected. According to a research by Josep G. Canadell, of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, carbon dioxide emissions were 35 percent higher in 2006 than in 1990, a much faster growth rate than anticipated. As per the study, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels climbed an average of 1.93 parts per million or ppm between 2000 and 2006 compared to an annual growth rate of 1.58 during the 1980s and 1.49 ppm in the 1990s.

CO2 emissions should be allowed to climb naturally, because contrary to the "environmental" extremism proganda, CO2 is not a pollutant.

CO2 emissions relate to human activities that promote wealth and prosperity. World population continues to grow, for very understandable reasons I very much agree with, but more population + more poverty, is hardly the ideal.

Some alternative energy technologies, say like nuclear power, supposedly don't release CO2. But transition requires TIME and EXPENSE.
