Do you know how much of the earth's atmosphere contains carbon emissions? if not it's 0.4%

Did you know that during the time when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the amount of carbon in the atmosphere was drastically higher?

Think about that when you're paying carbon tax (whenever you buy a bus ticket, or buy food in a plastic packet, or get a cab ride, or fly on a plane, or do pretty much anything you are paying carbon tax now)

Are you serious? Do you honestly believe asthma inhalers are contributing to global warming? Pure silliness!

And to find out these new ones are more expensive! Its a scam to make money and all they have to do is claim global warming. That way your terrible to even question their motives. What a crock of cool whip. Think about the folks who will suffer when they can't afford the new ozone friendly inhaler.

Lots of people are making lots of money off this global warming farce in addition to Al Gore.

I also believe all these new asthma inhalers, like Advair are what gave her diabetes.

Advair Warning

An Advair warning was initially made after studies suggested that a medication with the same active ingredient increased a patient's risk of suffering a serious asthma or respiratory related episode or death. In 1996, a study comparing Serevent and a placebo found a small but significant increase in serious life threatening side effects for those taking Serevent. Because this side effect was considered a class effect, an Advair warning was also issued.

Advair and Serevent are both long acting bronchodilators produced by pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline. The active ingredient shared by both is salmeterol, a beta-2 agonist, which is supposed to relax and open the airways. Both of these drugs were approved by the FDA to provide maintenance treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). According to GlaxoSmithKline, over 27 million prescriptions of Advair were sold in 2004 alone.

Global Warming is not a scam. You should be happy that the inhalers have changed because the new ones are better for the environment. I know for a fact that if the environment around you is clean then you breath better.



Asthma does not discriminate by social class. One of our countries dirtiest little secrets is that there are millions who fall into an income level that is too high to get any assistance with medical costs and too low to afford medical care. That means that people will suffer and some may die because of this nonsense.

I'm betting that these inhalers add so little CFC's to the atmosphere as to be of no significance. This travesty is brought to us compliments of the greed of the pharmaceutical companies combined with the radical extremists, neither of which give a damn about their fellow humans and their potential suffering.

This will NOT HELP the environment. Only a fool would believe that. It WILL HURT innocent people.

When next radical environmental leaders and pharmaceutical company leaders meet on the golf course, they can high five each other for lining their pockets, while they ignore the fact the golf course is doing more damage in a day than the inhalers ever will.

Don't forget to kiss Gore's backside so you can get a free flight on his new jet, eh. Perhaps in the near future he could fly you over the first grave filled by someone who had to choose between food or an inhaler.

I've got to go and thaw my pipes. Since Global Warming started it is much colder and they often freeze. (-20 this morning, 28 degrees below the normal low for this day) Before the warming it never happened. We just had the third coldest summer in 150 years and December just came in as over 3 degrees below normal as has nearly every month for the last three years.

Since Gores right hand at NASA got caught cooking the numbers to support his wild Global Warming theories, I did the numbers myself this time. Just go to NOAA and get the numbers and do a simple average. The first time I did that I found out one of the weather services had added 3 degrees to all their averages in favor of Global Warming. They have since that time corrected it so I guess I'm not the only one who caught them.

Still I may invest in Carbon Credits. Even though it is a scam, Gore made many millions and I could use some of that to pay for inhalers, eh.

Look, all kidding aside, we all want a clean environment. Those of us with this thing called common sense think it can be done without destroying the economy. Those of us with common sense think it can be done without harming innocent people. One need only look at the satellite images to see that the environmentalists complete attention should be on China and yet?

The problem is that hard core pessimists are at the helm of the environmental movement when what we need is optimists for it to be successful. Nearly every environmentalist I know is on medication for Bi-Polar disorders or anger issues. Why is that?

I agree with you completely. This situation is atrocious. My daughter was forced to switch to the new inhalers, and they have not controlled her Asthma. She's had to go to the emergency room several times because of severe attacks.
Al Gore and his stooges are absolute criminals, and as several posters said, they could care less about the harm they are doing with this scam that they have perpetrated on all of us.
