You're presuming that CO2 is a pollutant.


Were it not for CO2, there wouldn't be any plants. With no plants, there
would be no cattle. With no cattle, there'd be no food. We'd starve.


Badly broken logic. Water is necessary for life too, but that doesn't mean
you want to be caught in the middle of a flood.

We're NOT using up resources. More precisely, we're using resources but
we're accessing more than we're using. Today, there is five times the
known reserves of natural gas than there was just five years ago.


More broken logic, as all fossil fuels are available in finite quantities
which means eventually the expense of extracting them will make them
economically impractical. Or do you think that China and India competing
with us for oil isn't responsible for the price staying up? If we're
finding more oil than we're burning, why isn't it twenty dollars a barrel?
And aside from that there is the little problem of pollution, e.g. "clean
coal" being a marketing phrase rather than something the industry can
actually deliver.
