“How can carbon dioxide pollute if it’s necessary for life?”
Listening to a free-market podcast lately I heard the common pro-fossil fuel line: “how can carbon dioxide be a pollutant if it’s necessary for life?” Some people can’t imagine life without fossil fuels, which seems to me dependence to the point of addiction.
I wish I could have replied in person, “I saw a man drowning and instead of helping him, I told him water was necessary for life. What could be the problem?”
