“CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 makes Earth green because it supports all plant life. It is Earth’s greatest airborne fertilizer. Even man-made CO2 contributes to plant growth that in turn sustains humanity and ecosystems. The website CO2 Is Green works to insure that all federal laws or regulations are founded upon science and not politics or scientific myths. No one wants the plant and animal kingdoms, including humanity, to be harmed if atmospheric CO2 is reduced. The current dialogue in Washington, US, needs to reflect these inalterable facts of nature. We cannot afford to make mistakes that would actually harm both the plant and animal kingdoms.”
Didn’t you know that? Then you should absolutely go and visit the CO2 Is Green website. Authors of the website describe themselves as philanthropists facing the difficult task to provide the truth to people “misinformed by people that benefit financially from propagating the myth” (e.g. the myth of climate change). Nowhere on the website can you find the great environmentalists behind this beautiful initiative. Maybe they are too shy, but after some research, you can discover that these new friends of the earth are H. Leighton Steward, a veteran oil industry executive and Corbin J. Robertson Jr., chief executive of and leading shareholder in Natural Resource Partners, a Houston-based owner of coal resources. In a way, it is right that we shouldn’t focus all our attention on CO2, and better look at all aspects of the environmental crisis.
