Why is Co2 called a pollution CO2 is no more of a pollutant than water is (Water is 100 times as much of a greenhouse gas as CO2). It has been an essential part of biology for as long as biology has existed.

Pollutants are like Poisons. What makes something a poison or a pollutant is its location and its concentration or dosage. Things might be harmful in some situations, but in a different place or different amount, not harmful, or even beneficial.

Because, by calling CO2 a pollutant, it give the leftists in society an excuse to pile more regulations on top of private business.

Donuts aren't inately harmful, but if that's all you eat then avoidable harm will come to you. Also, if a truckful of donuts were to fall on you, I think harm would be done. Pay more tax to develop technologies that will let you continue your comfy lifestyle and pass it on to your kids.

Not any problem, but you make paying taxes sound like a bad thing. I assume you are in favour of letting American soldiers in Iraq die because all that armour they want is expensive. Oh, hang on, that's right. YOU don't get any of the armour, so why should you pay for them to have any? <sorry, this was meant to be a response to a comment below>

"Water is 100 times as much of a greenhouse gas as CO2" That's completely false. Of the top four greenhouse gases, CO2 contributes between 9 and 26 percent and water vapor contributes between 36 and 72 percent. At the very most that could be 4 times as much, not anywhere near 100. To answer the question, human activity does not significantly affect the concentrations of water vapor in the atmosphere while it DOES significantly affect the concentration of CO2.
