Meanwhile the so called "environmentalists" want to do away with 'dirty CO2' If they haven't realized it yet, without CO2 an Oxygen atmosphere never would have developed, and yes, we would truly be 'green" in that case! CO2 has many medical, technological, cryogenic etc uses so that it should not be viewed as an unwanted waste product of combustion. If humanity had half the brains we portend to have we'd find good uses for this so called 'greenhouse gas.' In fact, why don't we just compress it and use it to power commuter vehicles, since it will "end up in our atmosphere" anyway!
