CO2 is a gas that is essential to life - all plants need it for photosynthesis. Your exhaled breath has about 100 times the concentration of CO2 of “normal” atmosphere - if you believe it to be a pollutant, do your part and QUIT BREATHING.
Using the words “carbon”, “carbon emissions”, “carbon pollution”, or simply “pollution” when really referring to CARBON DIOXIDE, CO2, is part of the propaganda. Elemental carbon generally exists as a solid, in various forms, such as diamond, graphite, or SOOT, which is what they want you to be thinking of. CO2 exists primarily as a gas, although the solid form is commonly known as “dry ice”. You wouldn’t use just one of the names of the elemental components of the water molecule, hydrogen or oxygen, to refer to water.
CO2 makes up about 0.04% of the atmosphere. Only a maximum of about 4% of atmospheric CO2, about 0.0016% of total atmosphere, can be attributed to human use of hydrocarbon fuels. The rest comes from “natural” sources - life processes, ocean outgassing, volcanic venting, and others.
Canada’s 1.6% of world wide hydrocarbon fuel usage amounts to a contribution of 0.0000256% CO2 of total atmosphere. Even IF CO2 could somehow magically control climate, in defiance of the laws of physics and thermodynamics, completely eliminating hydrocarbon fuels would have NO MEASURABLE EFFECT on climate.
The real objectives of the pseudo-science global warming crowd are the destruction of western industrial societies, and redistribution of wealth. Over 80% of all energy used world wide is provided by oil, gas, and coal. Virtually 100% of transportation fuel is petroleum based. We could not feed our urban populations without mechanized farming, motorized transport of food, and refrigeration of that food. Most electricity worldwide comes from coal fired generation.
There is no atmospheric greenhouse effect.
