    The whole AGW scam is perfect– they have red team saying pieces of truth for once, and so blue team followers shut off all rational thought processes. THE DEBATE IS OVER RAWR.

    Good luck freeing your mind from the false red vs blue paradigm, Chris.

    Words have meanings. CO2 is a green house gas but it’s not a pollutant. Calling CO2 a pollutant is like calling water and sunshine pollutants. Water, sunshine or a peanut can kill but they are not pollutants.

    There might be good reasons to curb the production of CO2 (or H2O for that matter) but don’t call them pollutants just to engender public sympathy from dolts who skipped science class. What’s next? Call it Nazi gas? Commie fumes?
