   CO2 is an EVIL gas!! Since you can find no safe level, we need to do whatever necessary to reduce its level to 0.

   Yup! And we should call the website Zero.org (unless it’s already taken by Barry Hussein). But then again, Hansen will necessarily object to this 0 ppm idea …

   “Therefore, it is foolish to demand that policy makers reduce CO2 to 280 ppm. Indeed, if, with a magic wand, we reduced CO2 from today’s 389 ppm to 280 ppm that change would increase Earth’s heat radiation to space by almost 2 watts (per square meter). The planet would rapidly move toward a colder climate, probably colder than the Little Ice Age. Whoever wielded the magic wand might receive a Middle Ages punishment, such as being drawn and quartered.“ – James Hansen, from ‘Conversation with Bill McKibben‘ dated December 12, 2010.
