Does that mean I have to stop breathing?
Boy what a bunch of basket cases.
I’ll drive my Chevy half-ton with a 350 V-8 and enjoy the daylights out of it.

Ah yes, the we are all doomed memo that all the Disciples of the New Church of Manbearpig bring out. You know that we are all doomed and the planet will die in a burning ring of fire if we don’t stop breathing and kill all plants that use photosynthesis to create the air we breathe. CO2 is not a pollutant and is the basic building block of life on Earth

It reminds me of the great Gloom and Doom memo here in the Midwest,the Mississippi is going to flood during the spring. But that happens every year after the snows melt, but they need to sensationalize it to make it better for the MSM.

I agree we need to rid ourselves of pollutants and treat our environment with care and clean it up. But to go to the extremes of the Environmental Wackos is beyond the pale. Do they realize that without CO2 we would not be here and we would not have food to feed the world. What a bunch of maroons.

John, I want to leave a clean planet, as much as we can. Let’s deal with real environmental threats such as ocean pollution, the real pollutants that come from auto exausts, the loss of biodiversity, clearcutting, etc, before we worry about silly CO2 and a wopping 1.4 degree uptick occuring after hundreds of years of cooler weather.

Beg pardon. I meant it more in terms of a sarcastic “we’re dooooooommmmmmed” way.

Dave Shuler (Outside The Beltway and The Glittering Eye) says we are doomed

Not exactly. I’m saying that that’s what The Washington Post is saying.

Teach you are right. We are all going to die.
What kind of a planet do you want to leave behind ?
