Sorry I missed your post, but you missed my point. I forgot the sarcasm tag, but it was a joke on how they were crying about CO levels rising the suddenly switched to CO2. The problem is that CO2 isn't the problem, it points to a larger less pleasant problem that 90% of the people are in denial about, some because of it's implications, most because they simply do not want to control their breeding.
