Re: Climategate

Flat-Earthers speaking on the topic of the structure of the universe. I wonder what John Tyndall's agenda was back in the 1850's. I can't fathom how anyone can think releasing CO2 with deforestation taking place at the same time is a good thing. Never mind the the warming impact of CO2 on the planet, how about the health impact on humans?

Hypercapnia
Victims of carbon dioxide (CO2) poisoning die of hypercapnia, a condition in which there is too high a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of the metabolic process of cells. It is exhaled by the lungs. Normally, the blood contains 40 mm Hg of CO2. Once the blood contains more than 45 mm Hg of CO2, hypercapnia will start to occur.

Hypercapnia can be caused by lung diseases such as emphysema, by reduced consciousness leading to hypoventilation, or by exposure to an environment in which the atmosphere has high levels of carbon dioxide present, such as in mine shafts.
CO2 is good for the planet indeed.
