I listened to this man speak last night, and he was absolutly spot on in all regaurds. I was very pleased, and I am EXTREMELY uspet over the tone of John Shimkus, as long ago I have stopped refering to CO2 as CO2. It is now PF to me, plant food. Rep. Shimkus can kiss my merry arse on his way to political suicide once the scientists finally are able to break through all the politicians and get the REAL inconvinient truths out there without being cencored

@KingethJames

Shimkus was on the same team as Monckton. Since your listening comprehension is apparently quite low, I guess I'll forgive you for having a completely backwards view of science as well.

Scientists have said for a decade that humans are causing global warming. It's politicians like Monckton, Shimkus, and Inhofe that they need to break through.

I'll believe the opinions of religious zealots over climatologists on the subject of climate ANYDAY.

ach! I hate how these stupid teabaggers make us Christians look like rednecked idiots.

This guy is the face of the American Taliban and opposes all scientific evidence. Another teabagging nutjob driving this country (and planet) to ruin.

@RichardMNixon Thank you for replying to a comment that I forgot I made over a year ago, on a video I don't remember watching. I didn't like shimkus because he sounds really annoying and didn't seem to handle his questioning professionally.

Most people who research start with two premises; that CO2 has gone up in the atmosphere, and that the temperature has also gone up. Naturally, they conclude these are related, which is marginally true.

I think I pulled an allnighter before that comment

@hrysivjt67 plants require CO2 as an essential ingredient in Photosynthesis. So yes it is plant food and basic elementary science.

@GodOfPlague Venus is so hot because of its atmosphere, which causes a runaway greenhouse effect. With a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere like Earth's, Venus would be quite similar to earth. Significantly hotter, but habitable, and not the pressure cooker it is right now. The bigger issue is its extremely slow rotation though.

With the human body at rest ,we exhale 57000ppm per 500ml ,of co2. fact

mouth to mouth resuscitation, exhaling into anothers mouth is a life saving procedure not attempted murder by excessive co2 poisoning.

Every drop of EARTHS co2 amounts to less than 0.04% of the atmosphere. FACT

99% of the atmosphere is water vapour (Clouds ? rain?)

photosynthesis <--- plants eat co2 FACT!

humans,animals,insects,volcano­s,trains planes,tanks , war,beer, factorys and more , all produce co2.

its risen by 0.009%
