    Gavin, who cares about CO2. Are you going to tell us that all plants need to be killed off to protect us? Remember photosynthesis in botany class? You guys all try to scare the people into thinking they need to pass laws and be taxed to do absolutely nothing to “save us”. Also, you are not credible and definitely not for the people based on your public speaking and continuous ignorance of news reporters and the very people who want to share their concerns.
