The argument (or non-argument) also depends critically on the definition of "a lot" of CO2. Note well that CO2 can be used as an anesthetic in small animal surgery (it knocks them cold) and it is also used to perform euthanasia on small animals (it knocks them colder). Again, it all depends on the concentration. > That's got nothing remotely to do with climatology, and you know it. > > - Jed >
