Mueller just walked in, let us comment on his testimony as it rolls out (Page 24): Damn Jedi! "Plants thrive on CO2 and they also produce it"

Damn Jedi!
"Plants thrive on CO2 and they also produce it" - Jedi
You don't even know basic biology.
Plants turn CO2 into O2.
Human and all animal life depends on O2 in the air, and we breathe out CO2.
That is how it works.

No it is not!!!!
Now read my references posted earlier.

you overlooked AND OTHER HARMFUL GASES. Have you ever tried inhaling CO2....I would suggest you try it and then get back to me, but then I would be charged with manslaughter! Any chemical that is harmful to humans has a negative effect on the air and environment. period.

C*****e c****e is a natural process that's been happening since the beginning of time. There are those who say man is causing changes to the climate. There are those who say man is not causing change to the climate. Those who say we are get grants and funding from the government and make millions of dollars. Those who say we aren't don't get money from the government. And who the hell do you want to believe?

Yes, you are correct -there are two sides to every story. For me, common sense says "you cannot repeatedly pour billions of metric tons of gases and soot from coal mining and other such industries into the environment and not expect a negative result. Whether the government awards grants to study the issue, or the government denies the issue and awards nothing....the problem is still a problem....getting more intense day by day.

Actually not. NASSA says our air and water are cleaner this year than last. You still never answered the question. How do we accomplish your goal realistically?

" However, we have recently discovered that "poking holes" in the earth through drilling is similar to poking holes in the fabric of your favorite shirt - one small hole may not be a problem - but keep poking holes in the fabric and what happens to it? "

That is very cute. Did you just make that up or is it something that actually happened ? Who is " we " ? Speaking of holes, what about volcanoes ? What do they do to your favorite shirt ?

Yes, because Obama enacted regulations that forced the EPA to better regulate coal plant emissions and dumping into rivers, lakes, and estuaries. We should re-enact those regulations that Trump dumped for starters. Then, up the fines and penalties on the companies that "illegally" dump making it very un-profitable to continue dumping. Continue the drive for solar and wind energy alternatives and stay on top of manufacturers to ensure they comply with minimum emissions that harm the environment. That is a start to combating excessive pollution and c*****e c****e -and daily prayer never hurts either.

Figured your answer wouldn’t be very specific. Who pays for this drive for solar and wind? Great ideas but not workable. The making of solar panels has many hazardous chemicals and side affects. Wind power is very inefficient and has its own problems unless you h**e birds. We are one of the cleanest modern countries in the world. Innovation and the American entrepreneur will make cleaner fuel when it becomes profitable.

I didn't know you were looking for a thesis -that would require more time and space than I can commit to at the moment. You say "great ideas but not workable." You haven't been to the mid-west lately then -there are huge wind mills all across Kansas. Yes, everything has some type of drawback, but the energy produced by solar and wind alternatives is not hazardous like coal or oil. We won't be one of the cleanest modern countries in the world if we continue on our current course -which is why we need to take pollution and c*****e c****e seriously now....before its too late.

We have always taken pollution seriously. There is a great deal less smog than there once was. However, c*****e c****e is out of our hands.

You have hit on the answer. Profit, profit, profit. Capitalism's shining advantage over all of these left wing socialist stupidity driven green fairytales is profit. The Soviet Union failed because government dictated all economic activity. The Soviet Union lasted 70 years, instead of crashing long beforehand because of it's Free Enterprise black market. Profit and loss sends signals back up the supply chain to the decision makers on what is efficient and what is stupid.

Green does not have to make a profit. It is propped up by government subsidies. Uneconomical activities are possible when the profit principle is not enforced. The whole G****l W*****g nonsense is an attempt to get around the profit narrative.

So, your response is "do nothing" and just let the climate die?

Since CO2 isn't causing the warming, reducing CO2 won't help and thus, as you say, the climate will die, what ever that means. You seem to think that c*****e c****e is actually going to k**l us all like the l*****t alarmists want us to believe.

I didn't know you were a certified chemical scientist! How do you know that CO2 doesn't contribute to climate warming? I believe that pouring billions of metric tons of coal soot, carbon monoxide, and other such harmful pollutants into the atmosphere definitely contributes to climate warming. These chemicals are "poking holes" in the atmosphere and allowing more of the sun's harmful rays to come through -which raises the earth's temperature, causes land slides and erosion, and even "shrinking" of the oceans. Why is it that a 6th grader can readily understand that, but so many grown azz adults can not? It's not rocket science....just plain normal, everyday science!
