Boxer on CO2
Al Horn had it right and put it more politely in his opinion piece than I ever could. I urge you to read his take on just how inane Barbara Boxer is here. He stopped short of calling her stupid, but I'm going to step up to that plate and say it out loud, because that's what she is...just plain dumb when it comes to carbon dioxide.
Here's a lesson in simple CO2 chemistry. Boxer ought to sign up for the course. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. She has no knowledge at all. She's an incendiary device that already exploded, and now we're dealing with the debris. But back to the lesson.
Carbon Dioxide 101
Carbon dioxide is not carbon. Carbon is one atom; carbon dioxide is three. Any guess what those three might be? Right you are! Now go tell Boxer. She's got them confused.
Carbon dioxide is an essential substance for life. We breathe out excess; plants breathe it in. Anybody volunteer to do without it for awhile?
Carbon dioxide levels show no correlation with temperature rise. Besides, temperature isn't rising, it's lowering, getting colder, you know...snow? Boxer missed all the white stuff in California.
The kids Ms. Boxer showed pictures of as they breathed through tubes didn't get that way from breathing carbon dioxide. How about regulating whatever THAT stuff was?
Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. I'm tired of repeating the facts. Read my articles explaining what CO2 is and isn't, the data on the molecule, the scientific facts, the spoof when I did my own measurements, yada, yada, yada. And see if you too don't get blue in the face with what Boxer says CO2 is and does.
In case you're still wondering about facts from folks more expert than me, consider this one: CO2 existed in the air at 4000 ppm--10 times the current concentration--60 million years ago (source cited next page). The plants and animals of the time did very well, thank you very much. So don't let Boxer or anyone else tell you a few more ppms in the air constitute disaster for people and the planet.
And if carbon dioxide is the "serious public health issue" Barbara Boxer says it is, then my name is Barbara Boxer. It's not, because I'm not that stupid.

Post a CommentLorraine, good stuff and yes, BB is ignorant. But she is certainly not lonely in Washington D.C., she has plenty of fellow dummies to cavort with.......
As an English teacher many years ago, I realized that the book of rules for the English language was relatively short while the volume delineating the exceptions to those rules was huge. And so it seems to be with politicians and intelligence. The list of instances of their being right is brief... while that of their misspeaking and simply being ignorant or wrong (or deliberately misleading) would fill an entire library. I wouldn't single out Senator Boxer here... In truth, it is all of them.
Well said Lorraine...:0)
I wonder if some of the politicians that have lost a firm grip, think the air caused it.
Good for you! You are brave enough to say the truth and take the ignorant thrashings for saying it!
good work:) I could write a novel on Barbara Boxer, so I won't. You have to call 'em as you see 'em or in this case as they look with a foot in their mouth that obviously kicked the brain out.
great job!!
Rita, thank you for noticing. No point in me messing around when the Democrats got that covered for everybody.
Fantastic, so glad I got the opportunity to read this wonderful article.
Tell us how you really feel! Haha You don't mess around.
