This CO2 hysteria is almost like the
DHMO campaign.


But DHMO is a very dangerous substance and using "hysteria" in the same
sentence I believe downplays the danger of this substance.

My first experience with death was that of a childhood friend who
accidently inhaled 'Dihydrogen Monoxide'!
Regards, Walter

[WikiPedia] 'Dihydrogen monoxide' (DHMO):

is called "hydroxyl acid", the substance is the major component of acid
rain.

contributes to the "greenhouse effect".

may cause severe burns.

is fatal if inhaled.

contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.

accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.

may cause electrical failures and

decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.

has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

as an industrial solvent and coolant.

in nuclear power plants.

in the production of Styrofoam.

as a fire retardant.

in many forms of cruel animal research.

in the distribution of pesticides.

Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.

as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

...And Paradise Was Lost...like teardrops in the rain...
