Climate change is real and it is partially natural cycles but human activity also plays a role, specifically population growth and deforestation. Deforestation alone causes more CO2 than ALL CARS IN THE WORLD COMBINED. Then we have cargo ships, running the dirtiest of Diesel engines, producing more CO2 than thousands and thousands of cars. Then there is China and India which keep increasing CO2 pollution while the US and the rest of the world is reducing their output already. The Climate change is a real issue but NOT an emergency. Furthermore, it can't be solved by the US. As long as WORLD POPULATION will increase, especially in 3rd world countries, CO2 will go up and Photosynthesis will be reduced due to less forest. Deforestation and population growth need to be addressed FIRST before it makes sense to do anything else.

Facts:
1) CO2 is .04% of the atmosphere.
2) plants emit CO2 via respiration, and need it to live.
3) No actual proof has been provided which links CO2 to climate change.
4) CO2 is considered a "green refrigerant" and is pushed for use in commercial refrigeration such as supermarkets.
5) mother nature will receive zero dollars from carbon taxes
6) the climate HOAX is designed to create wealth distribution mainly from rich western countries to the rest of the world.
7) the so called purveyors of climate change theory own very expensive ocean front homes.
8) get real.

CO2 is getting a bum rap. It's not a pollutant, it's a requirement for the existence of life.

This is an interesting development -

Climate change is real. It’s a natural part of the earth cycle. I mean 20k or so years ago, we had an ice age. Climate change isn’t sudden, it’s a slow process.
Don’t ya love science.

Yeah, I will believe some yahoo on the internet who thinks plants dont use CO2 as part of their photosynthesis process. Perhaps check back in with the 6th grade science teacher.

I think he was calling out the word "emit." The correct word should be absorb.

I think global warming etc is all a crock of shit. When relatives bring it up I tell em what a great president Trump was. That generally shuts em up.
