Have I been mis-informed or isn't there a huge benefit to plants with an increase in CO2?  Doesn't it stimulate green leafy growth, increase as well as speed production of fruit?  What am I missing?  Why the outrage, the panic, the blindness?

Are there that many people really so happy and comfortable being stupid? 

I just went and Googled "benefits of co2" and one of the links was this one, about half in Swedish but plenty in English to be useful.  Toward the bottom, after a bunch of charts, he says this:  "Carbon Dioxide is not even a little bit bad.  It is wholly beneficial".

This isn't a difficult concept!

Edited to add this:  read the last few comments of the linked report.  And then 'splain to me why I should go postal on my nearest libs, i.e. reality deniers!?

Oy comparing slavery to carbon. Here's a newsflash...you can get by without slavery if you pay people an honest wage for work. You can't live without carbon dioxide for all of the reasons already described.

Can we abolish liberal ideas?

By justice a king gives stability to a land; but he who imposes heavy taxes ruins it. -Proverbs 29:4

He's right about Sweden. By 2020, Muslims will have in essence completed their takeover of that pitifully liberal country, and it will be an extremely accelerated descent backwards to the Middle Ages, where of course the only carbon consumed was from cooking, heating and witch-burning with charcoal.

Lil' RFK should know about this stuff, cause in addition to being a Hah-vaad graduate, he spent another 12 years or so for additional law degrees - meaning, like the rest of his family, HE NEVER HELD AN ACTUAL PRIVATE SECTOR JOB.

Among his many credentials, according to his official bio, Lil' RFK is a Licensed MF - Master Falconer (as opposed to an 'illegal street falconer'), and has organized and led several expeditions, including first descents on three 'little known rivers' in Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela ('little known' to WHITE GUY/ENVIRO-NAZIS from Harvard, but I would guess VERY well-known for millennia to the indigenous citizenry. Sound a bit 'Columbus-like'?). 

Yo, Bobby. If you insist on using an asinine slavery analogy, then I must point out that, by burning oil and coal and emitting CO2 in the process, we're freeing carbon atoms from eons of enslavement and imprisonment.

You see, for millions of years those carbon atoms suffered a long and bitter enslavement and imprisonment underground in the form of fossil fuels. By extracting and burning oil, coal, and gas and creating CO2 in the process, we are freeing those carbon atoms from their imprisonment and reuniting them with their long lost oxygen partners. We then release those reunited families of CO2 molecules back into the free world. What can be nobler than that?

As long as we are going back into the future, history has shown abolishing this twenty-first version of slavery would not be complete without eliminating discrimination as well.

A great first start would be getting that controversial Wind Farm up and running off Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket -- playgrounds for Kennedy and other wealthy powerful elites.  Of course Kennedy is opposing this plan because this location is "special" to him.  However, isn't every place special to somebody? 

Building the wind farm Kennedy so vehemently opposes would truly inform the rest of the nation to what degree these so-called modern abolitionists are committed to implementing environmental change that directly effect not just others but themselves as well.

And the Kennedy's might want to keep some of that carbon around to cover the snow and ice that will accompany the coming ice age.

Wow, these self-described "environmentalists" have taken self-importance to a whole new level, haven't they?  Just when we thought the Iwo Jima moral equivalence was ridiculously hyperbolic, Bobby Kennedy compares his "Green" movement to the abolition of slavery?  I'm eagerly awaiting their next self-flattering comparison.  What's it going to be?  The Virgin Birth?  The Resurrection?  The Return of the 12th Imam (something tells me that not even they would be that stupid...they do want to live after all)?
