Carbon Footprint: Perverts Importance of CO2 (short version)

The carbon footprint concept has resulted in the EPA proposal that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a pollutant. It is not a pollutant, but is essential for life on earth. The current level of 380 ppm is nearly the lowest level it has ever been in geologic history. Carbon dioxide levels have been 10 times higher than present. Plant life is starved for carbon dioxide. The higher the concentration the faster plants grow--and produce food. Scientists estimate that global food production has increased by 12 percent in the past 50 years because of increased levels of carbon dioxide. Rather than a pollutant, many scientists say it is a miracle gas. For more information go to www.nocarbontax.us.

Yes! Carbon dioxide is vital to life on Earth, but it is potent stuff. Just 280 parts per million in the atmosphere allows plants to grow and keeps surface temperatures about 30 °C higher than they would be otherwise. And you want to double or tripple the amount of this potent gas? You think that won't have any affect on the climate? You're mistaken. Water is also vital to life, but you can still drown in it.

Kristiue Peletier STFU!

Same crap as Sarah Palin.

I am unsure what you are getting at with this comment, but based on your comment on other videos I believe you think the Courts decision is a wise one. There are two reasons the Court voted the way it did. First, they are not scientists and don't have a clue of what they are doing. Second, their decision clearly illustrates that the Clean Air Act is so loosely written that it can be used to declare almost anything a pollutant. It is therefore not science, but politics. Bad politics at that.

US Supreme Court Decided April 2, 2007 is authorized to do so. No. 051120. Argued November 29, 2006. The date of this decision is interesting, don't you think?

Good information- I didn't know that the EPA considered declaring carbon a pollutant.
