Making Sense of ETS

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant. CO2 is a clear, odourless gas that is
necessary to life. The essential fact to remember is that carbon dioxide is at the
most 385 parts per 1,000,000 of the atmosphere, which is 0.0385 percent. Small
quantity though it is, no life could exist on earth without it. All life on earth is built
from Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen and Nitrogen. CO2 provides two of these
fundamental building blocks.
The vast oceans which cover 71% of the planet, plus plants, absorb 98.5% of the
CO2 that is emitted by nature and man. As CO2 increases in the atmosphere,
nature's controlling mechanism causes plant growth to increase via
photosynthesis; CO2 is absorbed, and oxygen is freed. Photosynthesis is an
endothermic, (cooling), reaction.
Ask your primary school aged children about the carbon cycle.
The alleged greenhouse effect is a non-existent effect. No greenhouse, whether
made from glass, plastic, cardboard or steel will reach a higher inside
temperature due to the ‘magic’ of re-radiated energy. If it did, engineers would
have been able to design power stations made from air, mirrors and glass,
extracting more energy out of it than was put into it.
The taxation of carbon emissions is another socialist control on the private
sector. That is all it is.
Restricting the production of CO2, this essential non pollutant is absolute
nonsense.
