The following was among the public comments to the rulemaking process the EPA abused to issue the ruling that CO2 is a hazard.
On April 17, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared that carbon dioxide (CO2) is a hazard to the health and welfare of Americans. That declaration is a lie.
As serious as this lie is itself, an equally serious matter is that an agency established to protect Americans has lied. This is an unforgivable breach of duty to the citizens of this great country.
Every human exhale contains CO2. Hazardous means dangerous. In effect, the EPA has declared that every human exhale is a danger to the health of humans.
Carbon dioxide is not a hazard to health. Quite the contrary, CO2 is beneficial to health. We could not live without CO2. Without CO2, sunlight and chlorophyll, there would be no photosynthesis to bring us trees, plants and the carbohydrates that we need to live.
Carbon dioxide is only a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, about 387 parts per million. About 97% of it is from nature, such as ocean warming and solar activity, over which humans can have absolutely no control. Humans would be extremely foolish to attempt to control the other 3% in any manner.
