Of things that cars and trees emit, is there anything you would consider a
pollutant?

Sure, there are all kinds of VOC's produced by cars, trees, plastics,
paints, etc. etc.



Those that do [consider CO2 a pollutant] should just off themselves and
stop polluting the air by exhaling.


Yea, that's a little bit witty.

I hope you're not using wit to avoid having to think critically about this
issue.

Simply that CO2 is not a pollutant.



In certain cases, for certain substances, trees probably do produce more
[pollution].


OK. But do you belive that trees are, overall, worse polluters than cars?
If not, isn't Reagan's statement disingenuous?

I think for certain compounds, trees may produce more than cars, for other,
cars more than trees....it also depends on local conditions.

"algore" huh? Seems like you might be a Ditto Head.

Nope.


Well, it's easy to be disrespectful of people. And sometimes it's funny.
It's also easy to be partisan and only see those on the "other" side that
are wrong.




So I ask you, are there any prominent Republicans that you
can point to (with or without the disrespect) that you think should "shut
up"
until they learn to research and think critically?

Pat Buchanon for one,


As for Al Go I think the man has some limitations and faults (as most
men do) and some of those might have made him a bad president. But
one fault I think he *doesn't* have is speaking before researching and
thinking critically.

Maybe you should 'rethink' His hard core belief in global warming and
desires to remidey it at the expense of the US is not a sign of critical
thinking
