Rather than Climate Change, could CO2 present a more immediate danger?

How about the folks at Yale who point out some of the problems - https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2...mb-and-dumber/ Or do some homework yourself rather that sitting back and letting others do the thinking and leg work for you.

AI engines return the following -
Cognitive performance
Exposure to 1,000 ppm or higher can negatively impact cognitive performance, such as decision making and problem solving.
Respiratory symptoms
Children exposed to CO2 levels above 1,000 ppm may experience respiratory symptoms.
Other health effects
Exposure to CO2 can also cause headaches, dizziness, tiredness, and eye irritation.


Ever heard and experienced getting a breathe of fresh air? What do you think that's all about? It's common sense.

As they say in the article - CO2 will cause people to get dumber and dumber. I think we already have a lot of that going on as we can see from the current politics.

drill baby drill. EVs are decades away from being practical. When I have as many chargers as gas stations, when I can charge an EV in the same time as it takes me to fill up a tank of gas, when I don’t have to wait hours being 3rd or 4th in line for a charge, when EVs aren’t so ugly, and when comparable cars cost about the same, then maybe I’ll look at them.

I’d be a whole lot more worried about entities spraying god knows what into our upper atmosphere, then bombarding that with high energy to change/manipulate the weather. Think HAARP. Kind of puts a damper on all the climate alarmists. As in my humble opinion we all should be extremely concerned about that. It’s no coincidence these storms are so intense and record breaking.

Then people might research weather modification. ( H A A R P.) Energy Frequency & Vibration, can be used for good or bad. Nikola Tesla

We all want to improve the environment. All engineering disciplines are working to improve the environment. Sometimes mistakes are made (examples, forever chemicals and micro plastics). The human condition is to move forward and eliminate the mistakes that we learn from. The solutions we have come up with so far continue to be imperfect
Lots of work opportunities. Be optimistic!!

CO2 is essential to the life cycle on Earth. Without CO2, plant life would die, and animals would soon follow. In a closed environment of a space vehicle or submarine, CO2 produced by humans must be removed, and oxygen consumed by humans must be replaced. The Earth's plant life performs this function without human intervention. If you want to fight against higher CO2 levels, plant a tree.

CO2 promotes plant growth. Plants and trees emit Oxygen which we breathe. Seems like a good system.

EVs consume some type of energy which has an effect on the environment. To think EVs will solve anything is really untrue. The ONLY way to help the environment is to consume less of everything. To become minimalists.

IF we wanted EVs to really help the environment we would have small vehicles and micro cars, not large SUVs and HUMMERS. We would not promote how fast they are 0 to 60. We'd have to relook at all of these mandated items that add weight to all cars. But that is not where we are.

It is always the responsibility of the claimant to support their own claim when asked.

It is never other people's responsibility to do it for the claimant.

Where have you been for last 40 years? EPA has highest standards, why do you think companies leave USA. Greed, profit, and NO EPA standards to deal with.
