Here is a picture of a functioning(24x7x365) coal power plant in the US. See all that CO2 ‘pollution’ coming out of the ‘smoke’ stacks?
Does that picture resemble what you are used to seeing on the nightly news when pollution is the topic?
CO2 is an invisible trace gas essential to life on Earth. It is NOT pollution.
The MSM like to show pictures of steam coming out of ‘smokestacks’ when it is talking about CO2 because it would be tough to sell pollution coming out of those ‘smokestacks’ if there is nothing to see as in the picture above. The invisible is not as dangerous as something that makes you gasp especially if you can make it look dark by taking the picture from where the sun is casting shadows.
It is a little bit of journalistic alchemy - changing the invisible into the visible and white into dark with the implication that the benign is dangerous. It is also dishonest and manipulative.
