CO2 is not a pollutant??
While CO2 occurs naturally, used by plants to convert to oxygen, CO2 in the quantities currently produced IS a pollutant and sadly, the biggest culprit is the US.
We should turn to alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, wave and nuclear, which are exponentially less polluting.
But, the US runs on oil and until the stranglehold by the oil companies is shaken off, we can expect CO2 to blanket the planet.
