beneficial to the biosphere. It is nothing to be afraid of. This is the opposite view taken by the global warmers! It is my opinion and that of many others (1).

I object to the deliberate demonization of the element carbon and CO2 by the Greens, for which there is no justification. Carbon is the most wonderful element in the Periodic Table! Carbon forms more compounds than all the other elements put together. That is why we have a special branches of chemistry called "Organic Chemistry" and "Biochemistry". All life forms on earth are composed of carbon compounds and most depend on reaction with atmospheric CO2 for their existence and growth. CO2 does not pollute the atmosphere. How dare the Greens and EPA denigrate carbon and CO2 ; they are quite mad to do so.

My second concern is to do with politicians many of whom seem to readily support any outlandish Green proposition that may help them to stay in power. The present state of Western democracies is in turmoil due to the global financial crisis. Now this is compounded by their enthusiasm to enact ridiculous and unnecessary policies to stem global warming, including support for a proposed extension of the Kyoto Treaty to drastically cut CO2 emissions, all of which is insane. It doesn't have to be this way. Let the global warming debate continue!
