Also you should read the article you linked to. it says:
Regardless, this is a good article. Thanks for sharing.
And look - there is no reason to fight with me on this. As I said earlier this is a really complex issue. Both sides have opinions.
Peace.

What have you got against vegetation? Why do you want to stifle and hinder it?
You ever notice that all of these "predictions" of future doom and gloom due to rising CO2 are full of words such as "likely", "may", "probably", "could", etc., etc.?
You might get the impression that they have no fucking clue. And that is exactly right - they don't have a fucking clue. To date all of their predictions have been wrong.
Show me proof that says x amount of CO2 is too much CO2. Show me proof that said amount of CO2 is what has caused a slight warming, melting ice and more wild weather. In fact show me proof of more wild weather.
This is not about opinions this is about facts.
Fact: increasing CO2 is causing the earth to green.
Fact: CO2 does not have an infinite capacity to cause warming and has already caused all of the warming it can.
Fact: Biodiversity thrives in warm climates and suffers in cool climates.
Fact: there is no increase in wild weather despite the warming.
Fact: there is no increase in the rate of sea level rise despite the warming.
Non fact: CO2 is causing excessive warming and will continue to cause increased warming.
Non fact: there is more wild weather.
Non fact: any prediction of future temperature.
Non fact: climate models predicting future climate.
Non fact: x degrees is the right temperature for Earth.
Non fact: x amount of CO2 is too much.
...etc., etc.
I'm not trying to fight with you and sorry for coming off a little harsh but this shit is really starting to piss me off. There is no need for it and it is all completely misguided.
Polls constantly show that climate change is on the bottom of the list of most people's most important issues yet this bone-headed government is pursuing it to the exclusion of almost everything else. They are going to completely bankrupt Ontario and Canada in the process and all for no measurable change in anything climate related. This kind of stuff is really a worry for the rich because people who have to struggle just to put food on the table can't afford to worry about it.
As for labeling a "do-gooder" I think I am spot on:
Quote:
do-good·er
ˈdo͞oˌɡo͝odər/
noun
a well-meaning but unrealistic or interfering philanthropist or reformer.

I think you mean well but the policies that result from the type of good that you, and the politicians that think like you, try to do end up doing more harm than good.
