Simply put, the atmosphere hasn't had this much CO2 for hundreds of thousands of years. CO2 is a greenhouse gas. The world consumes 96 million barrels of oil a day, most of which is burned off as CO2.
I don't get how not fucking with the environment has suddenly become politicized. I can at least understand not agreeing with how regulations are applied, but to deny basic scientific facts is just bizarre.
In California we have solved climate change by paying for our grocery bags. The poor clerk was crestfallen when my wife told her that the store got 40% and the State the rest.
"I thought the environment got the money?"
Don't forget Governor MoonBeam jus mandted that cows fart 40% less. I don't want to be the guy shoving catalytic converters up the cattle's butts!
Sounds like a job for some watermelon people like @UWhuskytskeet.

Technically, oil is not "burned off" as CO2. It's relationship to oil is that of a product of combustion. Carbon is released from hydrocarbon based fuels as they are oxidized (with atmospheric oxygen) during combustion resulting in several compounds, among them, H20, NOx, CO and CO2. CO is highly toxic and NOx reacts with ultraviolet radiation to form smog. Vehicles use catalytic converters to, among other things, bond additional O with CO compounds to form relatively harmless CO2, and break up NOx into harmless O2 and N. Some pretty evil things taking place there, to be sure.
C02 is a trace gas, making up roughly 0.0085% and 0.0325% of the atmosphere depending on the time of day and latitude the measurement is taken. It is a greenhouse gas, but it is weak and far less prevalent than the far more dangerous di-hydrogen oxygen vapor that also forms as a product of combustion. Perhaps you should focus on banning those terrible effluents.

Those people in Chernobyl and Sendai were just pussies.

Touché, great movie reference. Still, obligatory Fuck You
