Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is Not Pollution (Popular Technology)
http://www.populartechnology.net/2008/11/carbon-dioxide-co2-is-not-pollution.html

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not pollution and Global Warming has nothing to do with pollution. The average person has been misled and is confused about what the current Global Warming debate is about, greenhouse gases. None of which has anything to do with air pollution. People are confusing Smog, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and the pollutants in car exhaust with the life supporting, essential trace gas in our atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Pollution is already regulated under the Clean Air Act and regulating Carbon Dioxide (CO2) will do absolutely nothing to make the air you breath “cleaner”. Regulating Carbon Dioxide (CO2) through either ‘Carbon Taxes’ or ‘Cap and Trade’ policies will simply make energy (electricity, gasoline, diesel fuel, propane, heating oil ect…) much more expensive and severely cripple the economy.

    we have to vote this moron out of office. in the mid terms we need to take away congressional control from the yes men, the democratic party. people need to get busy and organize locally NOW. there must be a strong grass roots movement in place in every local community when election time comes around. that is the only way to get this moron out of office or minimze his power before he destroys the economy of the US. s

    My God what is the Congress thinking?? Are pay has not increased, we pay more to eat, and expenses to live and now this insane tax at a time like this!! By his own words it would increase the cost to consumers where is his head??? Does the President and Congress not see that the real America is hurting?? We are becoming the land of the broke and broken. There is time and place for everything but not at the expense of a people already abused. I pray we make it 4 years. Vote the bums out!!

    The real problem is this. Economy, through the economy, we get stimulus, then the government ownes banks, car dealerships. Everything is for the economy, everything is a crisis. Cars, we get them to make more of the clown cars, and the government forces us to drive them. Enviroment, economy crisis. Health care Economy crisis. Cap and trade, crisis economy. You see the pattern. Through all these we lose our FREEDOM! Listen to him, everytime, economy Crisis.

    C r e e p y!!Check it out! Ever notice Obama’s eyes don’t reflect light? Its weird you might see a slight hint of light when there are cameras blasted all over, but not nearly what it should be. It’s strange,… just two black dots most of the time w/o a light reflection. WEIRD! I’m just saying…

    This couldn’t have been a new idea. I believe this is the unltimate strangle hold on democracy and freedom. Nothin can grow and succeed because of the tax problems- its too complex and too burdensome on the people. People will still consume energy- its a check mate for on the people and industry won’t have to change as long as the consumer wears the costs.Its still ridiculous to claim its a scientific fact that CO2 causes global warming. Ablack hole in the milky way is causing solar flares.

    The rapidity of these laws that are being flown through congress all the time show they had an agenda-it’s NOT the american people their helping. first was the banks - now govt owned; then auto industry; Homes are still being foreclosed on while the people who have those mortgages pocket the money that Obama gave them; and now making our utilities govt owned. NEXT -our food. Get yourself acquainted with NAIS - national animal identification system. Then our guns so we can’t protect ourselves.

    he says, “making work pay” while unemploying the nation.

    by 2016 every car will cost $1300 more because of the carbon deal and because every car by that time must get 38 miles to the gallon…have they ever heard of foresight? like doing these things when half the nation is employed rather then nearing a depression?

    …given the people dont make a million dollars in a lifetime like they do in one second with a lobbyist and a two figure change throws us under the bus more easily

    i really pray that cap and trade will not go through but knowing obama’s chicago-style strong arming politics, he’ll get away with bankrupting our nation.

    A cap and trade …
    A cap and trade system will ruin the economy even more, very bad idea when overseas companies don’t have it, this will obviously speed up job losses, speed up Outsourcing and Offshoring and more businesses will shut down and move overseas, or worse go bankrupt.

    What a solution should be is better energy efficient technologies and engineering.

  25. jaylowe6 Says:

    This is not the …
    This is not the thing to do to help jolt the economy, lets punish businesses so they’ll take their companies oversees; which means more jobs lost and a deeper debt in America. This is a political agenda, it has nothing to do with helping the economy it never had the intentions of helping anything but his political views. Everyone should read the article of what production line vehicles obama is approving he doesnt represent hope, he tried to close down a school that was helping innercity kids.
