-CO2 is not natural, (this is non-debatable, and 100% proven)
You are obviously talking through your teeth and not conducting any research!
First off, how is it not natural? WE emit carbon dioxide! I can't remember the last time I saw a laboratory in my lungs or a cows digestive track.
It is a fact, even in prehistoric times, CO2 was still being emitted. geyser's and volcano's are known to emit CO2.
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...

It is truly a sad state of affairs that we live in and unfortunately when Ronald Regan let all the loonies go it just made things worse.

It seems that some of us have denied ignorance to the detriment of our sense of humor.To me, not being able to make light of your own opinion shows a particular lack of perspective...just saying.
I think that if I read the sarcasm in the o.p. correctly, he/she fails to note that the problem with elevated CO2 levels is the possibility of them rising to levels not found in the past.Our CO2 production from cars, industry and yes even from our own breathing is compounded by rapidly diminishing forest and land for grazing cattle and other livestock is spreading in the clear- cut wake. They also contribute methane in measurable levels.
Any way, that'll be all from me.

Exactly, has everyone been asleep this whole time? Humans are killing the earth! We need to start killing ourselves, and others. If you can kill 9 or 10 people today, that you will be doing a good job of saving Mother Earth.
I know this was said in a sarcastic way, but big brother might not take promoting the killing of 9 or 10 people in a joking way.

I killed myself today but a damn dog found me and dragged me all the way to the ER! I'll try killing myself tomorrow. I may or may not let you know how that worked out for me.

CO2 nonsense? Are you crazy?
CO2 IS AN EVIL MAN MADE POISONOUS GAS!
WE MUST FIGHT CO2!
What a relief it is to know that they are going to fix our mistakes and make it all better. OH the guilt that I have over my contribution to the problem is insurmountable. At least tonight when I lay down to sleep and take that final rest, I can die peacefully knowing I have made their job just a little bit easier,

They are going to help me. They are working on it right now in Copenhagen. LOL
Downtown, and TPTB are real tight.
Like a hand in a glove.

It is a common belief that all CO2 is manmade. The latest figures from actual science that I am aware of shows that nature is responsible for 96.8% of CO2, man is responsible for 3.2%. One major volcanic eruption spews more CO2 into the atmosphere than every vehicle that has ever operated on earth. The planet averages one major volcanic eruption of this type every decade. Combine these with the numerous minor volcanic eruptions, and manmade CO2 is rather insignificant.

Wait a minute!
If we kill our co2-producing neighbors and ourselves right away, who will pay the carbon taxes???!!!
See what I'm getting at?

Do stop breathing as you are adding CO2 to the atmosphere. Also, kill all of your relatives and friends, all of your pets and any insects that you can find before you do the final act of your sorry life.
I know that you're kidding because an ass would
post such stupid crap.
