Anyone serious about reducing CO2 is a proponent of Nuclear. Either that or they are swimming in a sea of ignorance.

But I'm going to disagree on CO2. We've been duped on that whole issue. Everyting that human beings do produces CO2. Same with animals. Convincing the population that it is a polutant is key to giving a government authority the power to completely control every aspect of our lives. And the whole thing is baloney. It is not a pollutant, it is not a dangerous gas, and we are not producing too much. We could use about four times more CO2 in our atmosphere than we currently have.

Some point to Venus as an example of 'runaway CO2" and its affects. Yet Venus and Mars have almost exactly the same percentage of CO2 in their atmosphere. What makes one cold and one hot is the DENSITY of the atmosphere itself. It's why It's so bloody hot on the surface of Jupiter.

It's why it is so cold at the top of Mt. Everest and so hot at the bottom of the grand canyon. And if you dug a hole a few thousand feet deep here on earth it would have the same temperature at the bottom as venus' atmosphere, even if it hat NO CO2 in it.

iow, using venus as an example of the pitfalls of too much CO2 in the atmosphere is like using the bottom of the ocean as an example of the pitfalls of too much water in the atmosphere. i.e. bad science.

We've been sold a bill of goods and the information easily debunking it is all over the place on the internet if one is willing to dig.

On Youtube this is useful:

The Twain quote describes rabid Trump supporters perfectly.
