Today’s Washington Post published an article entitled “Carbon Output Must Near Zero to Avert Danger, New Studies Say,” . The picture shown above appears on the front page and it’s captioned , “heavy haze could be seen in Beijing in August 2007. Two recent reports call for a heightened global effort to reduce carbon emissions. ”

Who are you trying to fool. That’s environmental fear mongering at its best, the type that people like David Suzuki love to use. Carbon Dioxide could not create such a heavy haze or smog simply because carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, noncombustible gas that is soluble in water. Because CO2 is one and one half times as heavy as air it tends to ‘pool’ in low areas such as basements and underground areas not subject to air movement. In the picture the “smog” is up the air.
