Don’t Worry, Be Happy say 68 scientists

CO2 is a trace gas essential to life on Earth. Plants take it in and in exchange slip us some oxygen of which we have become rather fond. CO2 is green. We need more of it. It is not a pollutant.

Isn’t that great news? No need for the fear and guilt we have endured for the last twenty years of the climate crisis that wasn’t. We seem to enjoy scaring ourselves.

Unfortunately, no need for all the policies aimed to cure a non-existent problem. Much money wasted. Many crony capitalists made out like bandits.

We owe CO2 an apology for conduct demeaning to an essential gas.

Take a deep breath. Relax. Chill. Things are better than we think.

We can go back to using more than the one sheet that Sheryl Crow advises.

Reduce your energy use to save money not the planet.

Bad stuff happens but our rambunctious planet is fine. Your kids and mine will be fine.

CO2 was exhaled during the creation of this post. No living thing was harmed. Some even liked it.
