Because, who needs air? Oh. Everything.

CO2 levels were 10X higher than they are today. CO2 is not a problem. We have been at a low period for many years, time to go up.

Using a bait picture of cooling towers that emit steam to trick you into thinking co2 is bad

The picture of the radiation power plant releasing the smoke has nothing to do with carbon dioxide. It is releasing steam that cooled the reactor

Always remember, the more mouths you have, the more you have to feed. It’s just going to get worse and worse every year, similar to our population....if only there was a correlation. You want to fix the world (which won’t happen cause it goes in cycles and has done so for millions of years) then stop producing the things that destroyed it in the first place (people)

In Russia it's getting warmer, I have no complaints, I like warm weather :)
All those big talks about global warming and poor polar bears, meantime EU already can't wait for ice in Arctic passage to melt and open new northern trade routes.

Everyone complaining about the And carrying on about how great 'everywhere else' are

But - LOOK!

NOBODY is doing enough! They really aren't doing much besides talking. Talking about what you are going to do one of these days is NOT doing anything.

But, hey, as long as all the world can point at the US and complain, the other countries aren't held accountable.

The US cannot do it alone. Placing all the blame on the US lets every other country who aren't doing anything off the hook - and they love it. Those leaders aren't accountable as long as everyone foolishly pretends it is only the US.

But scoring political points is more important, right? (Which is to say, all the treehuggers apparently are really as concerned with the environment as they pretend. They are more than willing to sacrifice it just to complain about US politics.)

Oh No!.
Stop breathing or they will try to tax your breath!

China produces more than twice the amount of CO2 as USA and the gap is increasing.

Kungs.

Last time that happened it triggered an Ice age...

There is an optimum amount of co2, just like there is a level where it's too high and a level where it's too low.
Too low starts at 200 ppm, the point at which plants start deteriorating
The point at which the earth was on its greenest with the highest biodiversity ever must be the optimum level, this was around 2000 ppm.
The explosion of life happened with a co2 level between 7 and 8000 ppm, mostly in sea, with corals and shellfishes all around without having any problem with acidification, this is still OK to support human life otherwise co2 alarms wouldn't be set at 8000 ppm in sub marines and 12000 ppm in the international space station.
Let's say that however it's still OK to support human life it is not really ideal anymore so too much starts between 8 and 12000 ppm.
We are currently at approximately 400 ppm, this is clearly in the lower zone, it's fine for human life, but not longer to support a full green world with a large biodiversity like I once was.

I love carbon dioxide. It makes my trees grow so well. Long live the trees!

But your forgetting that it’s illegal to have complete reusable energy in some states in America. You have to fund some % of you energy form gas or other type of state energy sources.
