You are absolutely right Barr, industry needs to be responsible for waste they produce, period. And we have been doing it since at least the 1960s. Our waterways and air are far cleaner than they were decades ago. But here is where you and alarmists go fantastically wrong. Carbon Dioxide is not a waste; it is not a pollutant, period. Carbon Dioxide is an essential chemical compound in the atmosphere. Without CO2, all plants die, then WE all die. CO2 is essential to life on earth. Let me say that again for emphasis, CO2 IS ESSENTIAL TO LIFE ON EARTH. Plants love CO2, the more they get the bigger and better they grow. Earth is now greener than anytime in the last few hundred years. CO2 IS a greenhouse gas, but at only 400 parts per million in the atmosphere (that is 0.004 percent of the atmosphere), it has negligible effect on g****l w*****g.

So Barrnextyear, you need to get off your soapbox and start listening to real scientists, not a 13-year old girl from Europe.
