At high concentrations it is a risk to oxygen breathing life forms since it displaces oxygen. ;D . I'm pretty sure we're a long ways from that point however. But those with political agenda's never bother with those kind of insignificant details when there is power and money to be had. Hobgoblins 'R Us.  |

Watch this space - one of these green lawyers will make it illegal to breathe out. One could claim that vigorous exercise like the Boston Marathon results in the exhalation of more CO 2 than normal and therefore should perhaps be the subject of an EPA ban.  |

Ahh, but people are also "carbon sinks" until they hit 25 or so.  Perhaps only people over that age should be subject to a ban. ;D |

Not much surprises me anymore. Don't recall the names, but I've been hearing the "Optimum population" argument for quite some time. Most recently out of Britain. That said, there is no doubt that populations rise and fall for a variety of reasons that are well documented in the archeological and cultural records. Perhaps human behavior contributes to that, perhaps not, but I see no reason to hasten the process. |

Having to define CO2 as a "health risk" says more about the administrative setup in the US than the science of AGW.

"Ahh, but people are also "carbon sinks" until they hit 25 or so. Perhaps only people over that age should be subject to a ban." Ah so Logans Run becomes a reality. Damn. I'll be a runner for sure, who would trust the Gore foundations Carousel to guarantee my rebirth? Plus of course my palm has already gone blank. |

Does seem to be somewhat prophetic doesn't it. ;D |

There have been a LOT more deaths from Dihydromonoxide than from carbon dioxide, gaseous dihydromoxide is a stronger green house gas as well.
So if the government wants to cap and trade anything it better get in on this Dihydromonoxide. Found this on the internet!
WE MUST TAKE ACTION AND BAN DIHYDROMONOXIDE!
Liquid dihydromonoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. And yet the press continues to ignore this terrible pollutant. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydromonoxide (often erroneously written as Dihydrogen monoxide) do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Even heating Dihydromonoxide in attempts to remove this pollutant are fraught with dangers. Should the compound find any opening in the combustion chamber, death by massive tissue coagulation can occur. If cooled, the gaseous state will certainly cause massive external loss of fluids, but is not as life threatening. However, the heated gaseous version has the explosive potential to destroy an average American home.
Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. Many have attempted to abuse DHMO, and for those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Dihydromonoxide:
is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect" and is more devastating than the affects of carbon dioxide.
may cause severe burns.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!
Quantities of dihydromonoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California. Luckily, terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda and HAMAS have not learned to exploit the danders of Dihydromonoxide as their region of operation does not have as much of this pollutant as readily available.
Despite the danger, dihydromonoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides.
Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical. DHMO has been found even as an additive in certain "junkfoods" and other food products.
Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
Surely, with the election of Obama and the installment of a predominantly Democratic Congress we can turn to his enlightened view of the whole earth, and maybe the United States can be the first country of the world to ban this pollutant. Obama could even approach the UN as he will be better received than Bush could ever dream.
Again please pass this on to your fellow democrats and contact your local Democratic officials to start the process to ban this nightmare. Bush and his right (and I use that term with distaste) wing cronies have failed to respond. They are in the pocket of the military and industrial establishment that claims they just couldn't function without this low cost (in monetary terms) pollutant without finding an economical alternative first. Typical Republicans! They care more about dihydromonoxide than the average American life.
