[quote user="Bucyrus"]<p>Throwing fewer pollutants into the air is a good thing, but is CO2 a pollutant? We exhale it. We know that man's use of fossil fuels creates CO2, which is added to the atmosphere. Volcanoes do the same. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Someone help me think deeply for a moment. Wasn't there an urban myth (and possibly true) that a man petitioned a California small town to ban "di-hydrogen oxide" because a person surrounded by it without a special breathing apparatus would suffocate?</p><p>Carbon dioxide, like all materials, exist in balance. Chemotherapy drugs are merely poisons which don't kill us in small doses, they kill cancer. In too great of a quantity, the human life is snuffed also. </p><p>So, with carbon dioxide, the debate should not be about banning it, but what is the appropriate balance of it to everything else out there, so that Earth sustains the maximum potential vitality of life -- whatever that means. </p><p> ~Ignatius </p>
