See, that%26#039;s a good question!

1. Every plant in the world %26quot;breathes%26quot; Carbon Dioxide. Then they make Oxygen, we breath O2 and put out CO2, they breath CO2 and put out O2... its a cycle

2. Global Warming is a joke.... the earth goes through this climate change all the time... its like the earth%26#039;s period... and we%26#039;re just in the hot flash stage 0% 0 Votes

It is a greenhouse gas and is the second most important according to wikipedia. wikipedia 0% 0 Votes

CO2 is needed for any plant to live. Without the plants there will be nothing to recycle our oxygen. Check photosynthesis... 0% 0 Votes

I use a lot of it at our restaurants-- makes the soft drinks taste a lot better! 0% 0 Votes

its not bad just bad in high amounts to anlmals, but its good to plants and algea. 0% 0 Votes

  I have discussed the subject of Co2 with several local companies that bottle gases for industrial use and when you mention extracting Co2 from the atmosphere to bury it the laugh a lot. Why, the concentration of the gas in the atmosphere is not sufficient to be able to extract it except at very high cost. So I asked where does the Co2 gas come from that you sell for use in carbonated (coke) drink dispensers and dry ice. Answer they get it from stack scrubbers at oil refineries, power plants and other manufacturing sources that produce Co2 as a part of their operation cycle. How long has this been going on I then asked, their answer was at least a hundred years since it became practical to do so.
  
  So once again we find the truth is different than the AGW promoters would have us believe, industry in general is not at fault for AGW and Co2 is such a rare gas in the atmosphere that it is not economically feasible to extract it for industrial or commercial uses. So where does so much of the Co2 come from, carbonated soft drinks (those pretty bubbles), dry ice and people and animals breathing. Easiest and cheapest way to reduce Co2 in the atmosphere is to plant a couple of trees they extract the one carbon atom and release the two oxygen atoms into the air for us to breath. When you bury Co2 as the AGW people want us to do, for every single carbon atom you put in the ground you also put down there two oxygen atoms, so eventually if the AGW people have their way we will certainly run out of oxygen atoms for us to breath and live off of. 0% 0 Votes

  It isn%26#039;t bad for the environment. Plants take it in during the day and breathe it out at night. Carbon dioxide isn%26#039;t causing climate change and it isn%26#039;t hurting us. 22% 2 Votes
