Great news! We can all go home. No need to campaign about the climate anymore. The earth is actually improving because of carbon emissions. At least that’s what Plants Need CO2 says. The group, a pending nonprofit organization, hopes to woo climate activists with its tag line: “CO2 is Green.”
Why, pray tell, is it green? In short, it's good for plants. Carbon dioxide is “essential” to the earth and provides food for all living creatures. The site even explains that the carbon dioxide produced in China has made the country greener and plants thrive there. That’s funny. Aren’t China’s cities some of the most polluted in the world? China’s citizens say that pollution is a big problem in their country.
It seems this organization, led by retired energy-industry executive H. Leighton Steward, has forgotten about EPA's ruling earlier this year. You know, the one that says that greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, contribute to air pollution that harms the environment and human health? So the group launched campaign ads promoting fossil fuels.
