animal farts, fat people,

 

bears crappin in the woods, fish crappin in the lakes and streams,

 

skunks getting scared...

 

of course, they'll tax us on it. Until we throw the dipsticks the hell out of office.

 

Really stupid. Did they ever figure out that CO2 is used by plants to grow? EVER?

Not trying to be dick here, but to prove a point. Glucose (broken down from various sugars) is used by humans to grow. Keep eating more and more candy bars/ & cokes every year. 10x the year before. And so on...

 

How long until your body begins to encounter problems??

But to be a dick ;) In the voice of Francis Sawyer= "Glucose, you just made the list."

No, never. You should tell them. Stop all this global warming nonsense in its tracks.

 

(You wonder why John Boehner is so clueless. Look at his constituency.)

 

Oh, there I go again. I apologize. Again.

 

 

No need.

You're out in Pelosi's neck o' the woods aren't ya Cletus?

Why shouldnt they tax carbon dioxide? They tax investment, smart savings, spending, earning, working, property, etc. Shouldnt we be excited that they want to tax something that actually does some harm?

They should outlaw poop, then.

 

At least mammals exhale CO2. We don't exhale methane.

 

I suppose taxing the farts of 100 head of cattle would make

 

money for the Obama Admin.

 

Outhouses, chicken coops, Lord knows the Canadian Geese.

 

Not so much the hummingbirds.

 

Why not tax Africa and India for the elephants? And zoos?

 

And tax the Arabic countries with camels?

 

Australians for kangaroos.

 

See? Give a socialist wacko an inch, and they will take millions of miles.

 

Impeach Obama. He's trying to crap on the Constitution.

 

All in the name of goober warming, ya know......

What??

 

It's okay to tax food, water, and work but not pollution? I dont get it, Cal.

 

This is old news but I just saw it.

But part of the idea oughta be that it really isn't all that "OK" to tax everything.

 

We lose sight of all of the things that have a tax bite while focusing on only the federal marginal tax rate.

 

I think anyway.

Well, Tupa, that was kinda my point. I don't get it either.

 

CO2 is not pollution. It is a natural gas exhaled by human beings and all mammals.

 

They goin to tax people for exhaling? That every time we breath we are polluting?

 

That's ignorant. Humans exhale CO2. Plants use it to survive.

 

If you want to protect the virgin rain forests and start a global plan

 

to increase vast plains of plant life and renew millions of acres of rain forest

 

kinds of woods, hell, I'm all for it, I would donate to it.

 

But no. Just political applications via taxes and power and control of a lot of people.

 

I honestly think that since engines spew out carbon MONOXIDE, that Algorish and all the

 

rest of the "intelligent liberals" out there, are confusing CO2 with carbon monoxide.

 

Well, I've seen CO2 wailings, only to show the muffler of cars spewing exhaust.

 

What do ya think ?

I'm going to try this one more time. It shouldn't be that hard to understand, but we have to remember who we're dealing with.

 

CO2 isn't a problem on its own, and everyone understands that we exhale it, and that plants like it. We understand this at some point in middle school.

 

The point is that through the burning of fossil fuels we release far more CO2 into the atmosphere than our environment can absorb, which we know causes temperature increases. The idea is to try and regain the balance where the amount of CO2 we emit is roughly equal to the amount that the environment can absorb.

 

And that's why CO2 is now considered a pollutant. Because too much of it pollutes the atmosphere.

 

Got it?

Honestly, there are people in important positions in Congress who use the same submental arguments that Cal uses. That's what's embarrassing. They actually think that pointing out that CO2 is plant food and that we exhale it is a show-stopping, in-your-face rebuttal of three decades of climate science.

 

It's enough to make your head spin.

And the idiocracy is still being used by some who believe the Al Gore story. :lol:

 

I mean, am I the only one who gets constant joy out of the fact the biggest idiots always think they're the smart ones?

Ha.

 

Laughed my ass off when I saw the Idiocracy reference. This whole discussion reminded me of this clip (though my memory has it in DVD quality).

Liberal children -

 

Recess is over, now listen:

 

Automobiles exude CARBON MONOXIDE. NOT CARBON DIOXIDE.

 

Now, why do you liberal children want to cut BACK CO2, but you couldn't care

 

LESS about saving the rainforests, re-planting and protecting the large woodlands

 

that once were, and work to protect more grasslands, instead of parking lots and

 

housing developments?

 

Do your freakin homework or you liberal children will be assigned a detention from Steve.

I subjected myself to this movie over the weekend. I knew the premise going in and was anticipating the great social commentary routine, but man, it was just a brutal movie to sit through. And this coming from someone who could still probably laugh at an episode or two of Beavis & Butthead.

 

 

 

 

 

p.s. cal - CO2 is in the emissions mix. Combustion reactions of organic compounds produce CO2 & H20 as products.

Cal ...wow.

 

mz the pussy posts on how funny it is that the people who don't know anything are the most certain that they do, and then you go ahead and give him another example two posts later.

 

Burning gasoline gives off CO2, Cal. Among other things. That's why transportation accounts for about 35%-40% of all CO2 emissions.

 

Get it?

 

What do we have to try next, puppets?

 

(I apologize again.)

Steve, start writing detentions to the liberal children.

*************************************************

 

Car engines produce CARBON MONOXIDE. It is a POISON. It is not used as food intake by plants.

 

THEREFORE - one must understand, that intentionally, CARBON MONOFREAKINIDE, is CONVERTED to

 

carbon DIOXIDE because it is NOT a FREAKIN POISON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's what happens when you liberal children don't do your FREAKIN HOMEWORK:

***********************************************************

COLD WEATHER INCREASES CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARDS FROM CARS

 

AMES, Iowa -- In cold weather do you open the overhead garage door and start the car to let it warm up for a minute or two before driving away? Thomas Greiner, an extension agricultural engineer from Iowa State University, has this warning. "Don't ever warm-up a car in a garage, even with the garage door open. In less than two minutes gas fumes build to lethal concentrations in the garage." In an attached garage, fumes can quickly spread to the house.

 

Deadly fumes from vehicle exhaust include carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating byproduct of incomplete combustion. Greiner has consulted on and investigated several cases of poisoning from car fumes, some resulting in death.

 

"When cold engines first start, they run rich," Greiner said. The catalytic converter is cold and not converting deadly carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2). Concentrations in the exhaust can be more than 80,000 parts per million. Concentrations so large fill the garage with carbon monoxide in a very short time even with the door open. Once the car is backed out of the garage and the garage door closed, large concentrations of gas still remain trapped in the garage. In a house built with an attached garage, part of the gas then seeps into the house where it remains for hours.

 

Carbon monoxide reduces the oxygen supply to the brain, causing carbon monoxide intoxication. At high concentrations, such as produced in the exhaust of a cold engine, carbon monoxide intoxication occurs in only a few minutes, leaving those poisoned incapable of realizing they are poisoned, and unable to protect themselves. Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen to anyone, although children, the elderly and those with health concerns are especially susceptible.

 

Greiner conducted an investigation at a central Iowa home where the family was diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning and treated with oxygen. The husband typically opened the overhead garage door in the attached garage, started his small pick-up, let it warm for one or two minutes, drove out, shut the garage door, and left for work. His wife, who works in a home office, often developed late morning headaches. The family installed a carbon monoxide alarm. It sounded an alarm several hours after the truck was driven from the garage. Repeating the sequence of events, Greiner found that after only two minutes of warm-up in the opened garage, carbon monoxide concentrations rose to a lethal 575 parts per million. Within one minute, measurable levels of CO seeped into the house and after only 45 minutes the level in the house rose to 23 parts per million. Eight hours later carbon monoxide concentrations still remained above the allowable 9 ppm.

 

To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning from vehicles:

 

 

  • NEVER run engines in a garage, even if the garage door is open.
  • Make certain all vehicles are tuned up and running clean.
  • Check and repair exhaust system leaks.
When starting a car and leaving from the garage:

 

 

  • Make certain everyone is in the car and ready to leave.
  • Open the overhead garage door before starting the car.
  • Start the car and immediately back out.
  • Shut the garage door.
  • Immediately drive away. Consult the owner's manual for recommendations when driving with a cold engine.
Finally, buy UL listed carbon monoxide alarms and install them near sleeping areas and on every level of your home. "Carbon monoxide is a sneaky killer, a silent killer. Protect your home and family by being alert to its dangers," Greiner said.

Now, liberal children in the class...

 

CARBON MONOXIDE IS DANGEROUS:

 

"Carbon monoxide reduces the oxygen supply to the brain, causing carbon monoxide intoxication. At high concentrations, such as produced in the exhaust of a cold engine, carbon monoxide intoxication occurs in only a few minutes, leaving those poisoned incapable of realizing they are poisoned, and unable to protect themselves. Carbon monoxide poisoning can happen to anyone, although children, the elderly and those with health concerns are especially susceptible."

 

NOW ! The molecule which is CO, is unstable. It needs another atom of O to stabilze it.

 

Therefore, that is why it will REDUCE THE OXYGEN to the brain !

 

SO, in freakin conclusion - the CO2 molecule is STABLE. It's happy just the way it is.

 

So, if you didn't listen in class, that is why you will miss the question on the test next week.

 

Cars exude CARBON MONOXIDE. And, it is processed by catalytic converters to prevent CO from going out into the air.

 

By converting to what is stable and harmless. CO2. You know, what PLANTS TAKE IN and WE BREATHE OUT.

 

Go plant a tree and Steve won't hand you a detention. Choice is yours, you choose your own consequence.

 

Class dismissed.

I've never seen anything like this guy.

 

I mean, you'd think he was a puppet of some sort, like Lobstrosity/DieHard/Long Beach Larry/whomever, but what kind of sick bastard has the time, energy or desire to keep it up for TEN THOUSAND POSTS.

Additionally, it's always morons like this who believe in home-schooling. Holy xxxx.
