CO2 is not a pollutant
One of the most ridiculous claims made by Algore and his mind-numbed zittoheads is that CO2 (carbon dioxide) is a pollutant and a major source of global warming. A little market research would tell even a rather simple-minded child this assertion is false on its face. To quote Wikipedia on the subject:
Carbon dioxide is produced by all animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms during respiration and is used by plants during photosynthesis. This is to make sugars which may either be consumed again in respiration or used as the raw material for plant growth. It is, therefore, a major component of the carbon cycle.
All living organisms produce CO2 simply by exhaling. But what is waste-gas to us is food for plant life! Without CO2, plant life would perish, which includes all major food sources for organic life. This is the work of a pollutant? I think not.
CO2, it is true, can be deadly to humans in too high a concentration over a prolonged period, but it is not a pollutant. The simple fact is that each year, volcanic eruptions distribute more alleged ozone-depleting chemicals into the atmosphere than has any human activity from the time of the industrial revolution to present. To say human activity and human-caused CO2 production is the cause of global warming is naive, underinformed and outright false.
Truth is, CO2 is found most heavily in the Earth’s oceans, and through the evaporation cycle, the world’s oceans themselves pump more CO2 into the atmosphere than volcanoes, industry and cow farts combined.
Are we clear, yet?
Evidence against global warming mounts
Just as we emerge from one of the longer and colder winters in recent memory, and evidence against Al Gore’s global warming Chicken Little-ism continues to build, it appears the Bush Administration may be buckling to the pressure, just as the pressure valve is set to release.
Wearing roller shades of his eyes, if Bush enacts a global warming agenda, it would mark a severe course correction; he was the one who reversed course from the Clinton-Gore Administration, who commited the US to the Kyoto Accords just prior to leaving office, and when Bush took over, he pulled the US out of the ecomony-destroying climate treaty.
Contrary evidence is piling up every day. Vast evidence now supports the idea that global temps peaked around 1998, have held steady since, and actually dropped about a full degree this past year, meaning that the full century’s worth of creep Gore tried to claim was destroying the plant was wiped out by one cold winter.
Sunspot activity is deemed the most likely cause of global temperature changes by most traditional scientists, including the Dr. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery, who wrote “Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years,” and not as a result of human activity, as Algore and his zittoheads allege.
Minnesota and the upper midwest have been hit my mid-April blizzards and freezing temps, with gardening and crop-growing season starting later than it has in many years. Of course, for the zittoheads out there, there is no such thing as contrary evidence… even the coldest year on record in decades is “further proof of global warming” to those mind-numbed robots.
