A letter I wrote to my local paper (link added):
A trace gas in the atmosphere essential to life has just been declared a pollutant.
Am I the only one who notices the insanity of this? But the emperor has such pretty clothes.
I can’t wait until water vapor – by far the most significant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere gets declared a pollutant. We can pave over the oceans, lakes, and rivers to stop it. Cooling the planet enough to start an ice age might do the trick too.
Fortunately China and India are not paying attention. They will be protecting our green plants and stealing our jobs. (You don’t suppose they are secretly behind this move do you? Me either. We are more than sufficiently stupid to do this to ourselves without outside help).
Greens against plant food? What will they think of next?

How Carbon Dioxide Became a ‘Pollutant’
And a nice article from the Weed Blog explaining how CO2 enhances plant growth.

About a year ago, some scientists in OZ theorized that an increase in CO2 would lead to an increase in plant coverage, mainly in the arid regions. They checked satellite photos between 1982 and 2010 and found around an 11% increase in plant coverage over the period.
Unlike the models, this result is real, verifiable, and the data is not hidden. CO2 is and always has been plant food. And perhaps the best thing we can do to the poorer parts of the world is to make it easier to grow their food. What better way to do so than by jacking up the CO2 levels in the atmosphere much like gardeners do in the spring with their greenhouses. Cheers –

Thanks for sharing.
If nothing else it’s rare to see so many accurate sentences about Polywell fusion in one place. Can’t be more than a couple dozen people in the world capable of writing a paragraph on the subject without major errors.
Water vapor? You mean dihydrogen monoxide vapor!
