Ah come in! This is a good discussion!

I find people that think with all the industry in the world, the burning and chopping down of the rain forest and 3oo years of industrial production who still think humans don't add to climate change very naïve.
nearly as bad as Sheeple and their downright crazy.
you haven't been here long, you'll find I grow on you after awhile!
Like a fungus!You’ve already grown on me sweetie.
Georgia, we have beaten this horse to death several times over already.
Bigpaul told you where he is coming from - he wants fewer people on the planet.
And smoking wasn’t proven to cause cancer for decades. Of course co2 is a pollutant. It it wasn’t then why do you die if you leave your car running in a closed garage? Why when I drive towards any large city in America is there a cloud of haze over it. I don’t buy the argument that China and India are polluting so why should we stop. On the other side of this equation I don’t think we should start walking everywhere either, but do believe we should be upping our investment in research majorly towards cleaner fuels.
The car exhaust that kills you is CO, not CO2.
Your right that carbon monoxide is the killer in suicides by car exhaust. My response was off the cuff and not really thought out. I still disagree about co2 not being a pollutant though. Anything in too high of concentration is not advisable. The old saying ‘too much of a good thing’ isn’t always good.
No actually we don't. The divide is whether or not you believe that CO2 is a pollutant. If you do, then you can conflate it with all other types of pollution, and accuse anyone who doesn't believe it is a pollutant with WANTING pollution. They know that getting rid of CO2 is impossible, so as long as they have CO2 as a whipping boy, they will beat it unmercifully. This has been the left's playbook for decades. "Conservatives want dirty air, dirty water, etc. etc. etc." Take CO2 out of the equation and the US has made great strides in reducing pollution. But every time we do make progress on pollution they come up with some new type of "pollution" that is destroying the earth.
China on the other hand is a filthy hellhole of pollution, but they get a pass for some strange reason.
NOT REALLY BRENT, what happens in your lungs is not poisoning by CO. Your blood can and willingly does attach itself with its red blood cells to Oxygen. If this Oxygen molecule just happens to be attached to a bit of Carbon, Nitrogen or other molecules and gets another chemically corrected name. (CO/CO2/NO/NO2) then your blood takes it along and offers it to the cells in your body. Since the chemically non-pure Oxygen cannot be utilised by the cells, they start going into unconsciousness and begin to die from lack of Oxygen. A true poisoning is a chemically different process. With real poisonous gases, you cannot usually save the victim with simply administering a huge and immediate dose of pure Oxygen with a mask...Hope I described this correctly...GPcarbon monoxide is the killer in suicides by car exhaust.
