"A TV advert paid for by an oil industry lobbyist telling Americans "more CO2 results in a greener earth" would be almost funny if it weren't so depressing.

"Is this a joke?" splutters one of the comments underneath the YouTube video of a new 30-second TV advert that has started being aired in a handful of US states over the past few days telling viewers that "CO2 is green". Sadly not, it seems.

In a slick attempt to undermine the US Environmental Protection Agency's recent ruling that CO2 should now be classified as a pollutant because rising levels of the gas in the atmosphere will "endanger public health or welfare", a former oil industry executive has stumped up some of his cash to pay for these adverts to be shown in Montana and New Mexico. The ultimate aim of the advert, though, is to derail the forthcoming vote in the Senate on the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill, which now appears as if it might even impact on vital UN climate talks in Copenhagen this December.

So who's behind "CO2 is green" and this advert? One of its founders is H Leighton Steward who, until his retirement in 2000, was the vice chairman of Burlington Resources, a Houston-based oil and gas company bought by ConocoPhillips in 2006. Steward received the American Petroleum Institute's Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement in 2001 and remains an honorary director of the oil industry lobby group. In other words, we can conclude that this man boasts a particular pedigree within the oil industry."

Co2 is GREEN you STUPID MOTHER####ERS!!!! What the #### do you think makes plants grow??? How ####ing stupid are, you ####ing morons? Miss photosynthesis day in kindergarten???

WHAT THE #### IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS????????????

Co2 is supplemented, up to 2,000ppm, to make plants grow better in greenhouses. The earth produces and sucks up massive amounts of Co2, FAR MORE than pathetic humans do.


CO2 is in your ####ING homes at well up to and often over 600 ppm.

DOPE smoke has Co2 in it you stupid ####ing morons. How you like me now, ass-hats???

Brush cleared areas of the blessed rain forest grow back and quick, due to Co2.

You people are missing a chromosome. And basic knowledge. And common sense. Go suck on a bong until you ####ing DIE. Then, you're rotting, useless corpse can feed the earth some more blessed, essential, necessary, critical C ####ing O ####ing two.


This rant brought to you by a massively frustrated human being who just new feels like he is drowning in a sea of stupidity brought on by excess societal self indulgence, self worship, idleness and a sickening need to belong to SOMETHING just as long as it isn't what mom and dad belonged to.

What the ####. That commercial is 100% ACCURATE.

Now, now, Mr. Gude. Do you really think it is appropriate to use such language when talking to kindergartners and first-graders?

And your reply to Larry's post??

Simple. I hate black people. I hate queers. I hate hippies. I hate women. I hate children. I loathe kittens. I drive a pickup truck. I get an erection from my gun(s). I watch porn. I like football (that, however, does not include the Washington Redskins, they are not football). I hate Jews. I hate Muslims. I hate all Gods but my own. I love Slayer. I have an orgasm when SEAL's sneak in and kill bad guys in their sleep and no one ever hears about it. I hate children. I drink blended puppy brains for breakfast (peach is my favorite). I ride a dirt bike that abso-####ing-lutely rapes the very earth it traverses. I cried during "The Cowboys". I stand, take my hat off and put my right hand over my heart during the anthem and I get goose bumps and/or a tear in my eye. I believe there should not have been two atom bombs dropped on Japan. We had a third. I believe we should have gone to war with Russia in April, 1945 and got on with it. Imagine the trouble that would have saved.

And I hate the DH rule. And instant replay.

And I ####ing despise numb nut, dip ####, no load, ass hat, tin foil mother####ing, lazy, hippie white mother####ers who live off of mom and dad and everyone else for not being EXACTLY like me...yet have the POWER to vote.

I mean, seriously. Think about it. What else could it POSSIBLY be?

Now, now, Mr. Gude. Do you really think it is appropriate to use such language when talking to kindergartners and first-graders?

No.
