From the article...
quote:
Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, the resolution said, but rather a highly beneficial ingredient for all plant life.
This is the sort of statement that walks the line between deceptive truth and outright lie.
Let's look at something else to get my point across. Water is not a pollutant, but rather a highly beneficial ingredient for ALL LIFE.
Sounds good, right? Do we want to drown in it? Just because water is an essential and beneficial ingredient of life doesn't mean we want to drown in it. Unless of course you're a dumbass surfer who showed up at the beaches with surfboards as soon as tsunami warnings were given a couple days ago...
Just because carbon dioxide is an essential and beneficial ingredient for plant life doesn't mean we want too much of it.

Buzsaw has been using this argument against GW for years. I've been dismissing it as just his ramblings. I had no idea that there are honest to god those out there who actually buy this crap of an argument by the masses.
