See now you're just trolling your own threads and have yet to provide a shred of proof to back up any assumptions.
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Volcanoes release more than 130 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. This colorless, odorless gas usually does not pose a direct hazard to life because it typically becomes diluted to low concentrations very quickly whether it is released continuously from the ground or during episodic eruptions. But in certain circumstances, CO2 may become concentrated at levels lethal to people and animals. Carbon dioxide gas is heavier than air and the gas can flow into in low-lying areas; breathing air with more than 30% CO2 can quickly induce unconsciousness and cause death. In volcanic or other areas where CO2 emissions occur, it is important to avoid small depressions and low areas that might be CO2 traps. The boundary between air and lethal gas can be extremely sharp; even a single step upslope may be adequate to escape death.
Maybe we should nuke every volcano too.

I have to go back to work, at the coal fired power plant, I'll be back in a few thousand tons of CO2.

dude seriously?
CO2 is not manmade... Where are your sources?
I agree, they don't know what downtown is trying to said in our own words..

-CO2 is not natural, (this is non-debatable, and 100% proven)
The primary natural processes that release CO2 into the atmosphere (sources) and that remove CO2 from the atmosphere (sinks) are:
* Animal and plant respiration, by which oxygen and nutrients are converted into CO2 and energy, and plant photosynthesis by which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and stored as carbon in plant biomass;
* Ocean-atmosphere exchange, in which the oceans absorb and release CO2 at the sea surface; and
* Volcanic eruptions, which release carbon from rocks deep in the Earth’s crust (this source is very small). www.epa.gov...

That has got to be the worst disinformation campaign i've ever seen. Seriously. And I've not done any name calling. How old are yall??
Without CO2 on this planet all plants would die, all life support systems etc.
Trying to rid the planet of "planet killing gasses" would actually kill the planet... Or just turn it into another Plain ol Rock floating in the voids of space. Yes Coal burning needs to go away... but seriously... if you believe in killing off people to curb global warming, start with yourself and make an example.
