Carbon Dioxide Aint Pollution, It’s Plant Food
May 10th, 2009 . by AdministratorI simply adore John Shimkus, the esteemed representative from the nation’s favorite source of political comedy and nimcompoopery. Everyone by now is aware of his recent comments that only God can destroy the world (so, by default, man can pollute and pollute and pollute) and that carbon dioxide is, in reality, plant food.
It’s basic elementary earth science: humans and animals emit carbon dioxide when they exhale. Plants then take-in that carbon dioxide and then emit oxygen for humans and animals to breath. Makes sense. It was kinda funny watching Glenn Beck explain a couple weeks ago on his Faux show that he was polluting the atmosphere by breathing out (he pollutes alot more outside of exhalling, but that is a whole other topic); and I am suprised that neo-Cons haven’t come out with the obvious tie-in that liberals want to kill humans off by capping CO2 emissions. After all, without carbon dioxide, plants will die and wont give off oxygen…which we need to live. Damn murderous socialist fascist liberals!
Though one can’t debate that plants and trees need CO2…too much of a “good” thing can be harmful; especially when there are not many plants and trees in the hearts of major cities to “inhale” the excess and produce oxygen in return. Perhaps if we just taped the mouths of Rush, Sean, Bill Glenn and John shut for a year (and planted a tree near their posteriors), the levels of CO2 and other toxis would drop dramatically and our companies would not have to worry about capping CO2 emissions.
