It would be nice if the whole "carbon is bad" mantra would just be called what it is:  a scare story.

Our fossil fuel use is our right as free citizens. It is no ones business how much we consume, as long as we are not causing a NET damage increase to the world. The objective evidence shows greater benefits as FF consumption rises. More employment, better health, more plant growth, better environment..  for example, the very first beneficiaries of FF use were whales and walruses, as they were not killed to make oil for lamp lighting.

So how about everyone just taking a deep breath and forget about hyperventilating about FF use, since it is obviously hugely NET beneficial.

This is all politics, not science. Here it is, the politics: (UN Climate Chief Christiana Figueres laments U.S. democracy is 'very detrimental' in war on global warming — Lauds one-party ruled China for 'doing it right ... she then says CO2 has nothing to do with science, but the redistribution of wealth...)
