Remember CO2 is not a pollutant.

I am a Biologist and understanding why CO2


vilified as a pollutant is strictly for raising the amount of money needed to pay
for more Government programs through 'Cap & Trade' is easy. Read briefly from
Wikipedia photosynthesis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and Krebs cycle
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Photosynthesis[α] is a process that converts carbon
dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from
sunlight.[1] Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and many species of Bacteria,
but not in Archaea. Photosynthetic organisms are called photoautotrophs, since it
allows them to create their own food. In plants, algae and cyanobacteria
photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product.
Photosynthesis is vital for life on Earth. As well as maintaining the normal level
of oxygen in the atmosphere, nearly all life either depends on it directly as a
source of energy, or indirectly as the ultimate source of the energy in their
food.[β][2] The amount of energy trapped by photosynthesis is immense,
approximately 100 terawatts:[3] which is about six times larger than the power
consumption of human civilization.[4] As well as energy, photosynthesis is also
the source of the carbon in all the organic compounds within organisms' bodies. In
all, photosynthetic organisms convert around 100,000,000,000 tonnes of carbon into
biomass per year.[5]Simply CO2 gives us the O2 oxygen we need and fixates C carbon
into Biomass. " The 'Plants planet' will flourish and use as much CO2 as we throw
at it providing we clean up true pollutants(i.e.. metals,acids,bases, sulfurs,
etc.) that kill or inhibit plant growth, and stop deforestation without equal
replanting. Now the Kreb's is also called the Citrus. "In aerobic organisms, the
citric acid cycle is part of a metabolic pathway involved in the chemical
conversion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and water to
generate a form of usable energy." That is just to show the complete cycle from
CO2 to O2 and back. Clean H2O (water) is a much more pressing concern. I hope this
basic information is helpful to show that the lawyers in Washington DC., State
governments, who fill our political offices don't remember their High School
science, and are counting on the fact that you don't either.
