Oh, and CO2 is not a 'pollutant'. It is actually a plant fertiliser, and the increase in Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased plant growth by something like 12% in the last 3 decades. As for CO2 driving global warming: It hasn't ever done in the past, and the fact that it is among the lesser greenhouse gases makes you wonder who no-one is worried about their 'water vapour footprints'?
CO2 is not a pollutant, no. It is a 'greenhouse gas' however, and thus can be treated as a pollutant.
The bit about 'has increased plant growth by something like 12% in the last 3 decades' is laughable - or have I missed the huge carbon swallowing forests springing up left, right and centre?
And as for 'the fact that it is among the lesser greenhouse gases makes you wonder who no-one is worried about their 'water vapour footprints'?'
Go and read about residence times of various gases in the atmosphere, then try that argument again.
unfortunately the concensus is among politicians, not scientists. Many scientists are also afraid to speak out against the 'warmists' as there has been talk of Nuremburg-style trials against global warming (GW) deniers

This is drivel.
