Debunking fuel conservation myths...

Well, if CO2 is a pollutant, you better never try to revive anyone by giving them rescue breaths. After all, you'd be "poisoning them with your CO2".

I recently learned about this "Snowball Earth" theory; about 650 million years ago, the Earth was completely frozen. They say it's estimated that the CO2 levels needed to thaw that were 250 times the levels of today. So where did all that CO2 go? It must still be here somewhere...

How about Mt. Pinatubo eruption? Didn't that lower global temperatures for like 2 or 3 years because of all ash in the atmosphere?

I hate pollution because I don't want to get cancer, but I don't think we can do much about the warming, other than move a bit farther north. Personally, I've always wanted to check out Montana...

Another piece of bad news: the sun will be entering a new phase of peak activity in its 11 year cycles, so prepare for more toasty times...

You also exhale oxygen. CO2 is a pollutant because it makes the air more dense, not because it is toxic.

Really? daaaym

Dictionary definition for "pollutant": any substance, as certain chemicals or waste products, that renders the air, soil, water, or other natural resource harmful or unsuitable for a specific purpose.

I don't see how "denser air" is harmful or unsuitable for a specific purpose Besides, plants need to live too, CO2 is good for them...

I already talked about how denser air retains heat better and how that is harmful to the environment. I also found this article that also mentions the definition of pollution:

http://www.wunderground.com/education/cei.asp

"The definition of pollution in Webster's dictionary is "to make physically impure or unclean: Befoul, dirty." By that definition, carbon dioxide is not pollution. However, Webster's also has the definition: "to contaminate (an environment) esp. with man-made waste." Carbon dioxide is a waste gas produced by fossil fuel combustion, so can be classified as man-made waste."
This article continues to go on to talk about the negative effects CO2 has on the oceans.

This is also a nice article:
