Now I've seen it all - PRO carbon dioxide commercials.
http://streams.cei.org/

The Competitive Enterprise Institute has produced two 60-second television spots focusing on the alleged global warming crisis and the calls by some environmental groups and politicians for reduced energy use. The ads are airing in 14 U.S. cities from May 18 to May 28, 2006.


Thanks to Malloy for the heads up on this disgusting shit.

4. Let me know when you see a pro carbon MONoxide commercial.
That's when we know it's time to panic.

6. If you like CO2, move to Venus. See how well it works there.
BTW, there were a couple of threads on this earlier. But I don't think there can be too many.

15. I'm picturing a nice animated cartoon of co2 molecules swirling around
like the scrubbing bubbles or something...
or maybe two white guys holding hands with their black (carbon) buddy in the middle drinking a beer together saying how wonderful togetherness in the atmosphere is
or show an animated tree struggling to breathe, and how if it wasn't for carbon dioxide we wouldnt have plants, and wouldnt be able to grow huge fields of corn for food...
gee i should have gone into advertising...
