If you put me in a room where CO2 is double the ambient, I won't even notice. If you put some potted plants in there with me they will love it and grow like crazy. Vegetation on this planet is starved for more CO2.

And we will do so in true science fashion, by attempting to DISprove our theory. So, our theory is that co2 is NOT a pollutant. To test that, hows about we lock you in a room and pump in co2? see what it does....
