Trump Declares in EO that CO2 Is Not Pollution..

Climate change, if you insist on using that word, is a myth. No, not climate change which is changing constantly, but the impact human activity on the climate is exaggerated. Explain the periods of excessive warmth or cooling in planetary history when humanity was much less.

Don't look under your bed, you might imagine you see a boogeyman.

And for the mentally challenged, I wrote about this when Trump was still a democrat. Originally Posted by Schwarzer Ritter

The fact is that our climate is changing and getting hotter sooner and for longer periods of time than expected. Human activity and the fact that carbon dioxide traps heat is the most likely cause of climate change.

And what is "excess". There were higher levels of CO2 in the past.

The scientific consensus on human-driven climate change is well established. If you have peer-reviewed evidence to the contrary, share it.

From my college days, I have vague memories of a class on metabolism and respiration.

My recollection is that Carbon Monoxide (CO us a metabolic poison and will kill you, but that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a necessary by product of the Crebs Cycle and is necessary for plant life to live.

Perhaps we can all agree that an introductory biology concept isn’t the same as evidence addressing modern climate modeling and atmospheric physics.

Basic biochemistry about CO₂ being part of respiration isn’t really in dispute. The climate question isn’t whether CO₂ exists or has biological functions — it’s whether increasing atmospheric concentrations affect temperature and climate systems.

And there’s a difference between recalling a college metabolism class and citing peer-reviewed climate research. They’re not the same thing. I was asking for the latter.

Water is also necessary to live, but you can still drown in it.

now we find out climate change/global warming is accelerating.
yikes..

no surprise tho with multiple positive feedback loops..
