Unintended Consequences

Global warming solved.

That pretty much nailed what I was thinking about when I heard that decision. Without carbon dioxide all plant life will die. Plants need the CO2 for that little process called photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis (photo=light, synthesis=putting together), generally, is the synthesis of glucose from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen as a waste product. It is arguably the most important biochemical pathway known; nearly all life depends on it.

How can CO2 be a pollutant if plants need it to live and nearly all life needs the waste oxygen that the plants make by using it?

What decision? God, I hate bein' the last person on earth to ever hear anything!!!

[Bubba]

The Supreme Court decision that CO2 is a pollutant and that the EPA should be in charge of regulating it.

[K C Muffin]

oh.

Carry on, then! I wonder how many public supported tax hours went into that idiotic decision!

Have y'all signed the petition in favor of prohibiting the use of dihydrogen oxide? I hear it can do all sorts of nasty things to people.

Only if you drink the city stuff. I’ll stick with beer.

If frozen, it can hurt when it hits you. If heated to high temps, it can burn your flesh. If you drink to much at one time it can kill you.

Sounds like a danger to me. Maybe they should regulate that and stop the ethenol plants.

Ethanol plants use to much of it, that's for sure. But, so do the packing plants.
