[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1425671, member: 4362"] I'm confused. I don't understand why everyone is so upset over CO2 emissions when increased CO2 makes plants grow faster and produce more oxygen and more biomass. That would be a good thing wouldn't it? I remember the acid rain scare where we were told sulfuric acid would be raining down on us in a few years so scrubbers were put on the smoke stacks and catalytic converters were made mandatory to prevent this. Now we have to add sulfur to our fertilizer applications because there is no longer enough sulfur in the atmosphere to provide for the needs of the plants. But what effect is this regulation having on plants they don't receive fertilizer? It would seem reasonable to think CO2 should be the least of our worries when methane is a much worse greenhouse gas. Methane is formed naturally and there are large sources of methane such as swamps. These could be filled to mitigate this pollution but its against federal law to fill in a swamp. Its all so confusing. Its almost as if the government just wants to justify another tax but that couldn't be. The government is there to help us. Right? [/QUOTE]
