Yeah, that's part of the propaganda campaign. Too much C02 is not a
problem in the atmosphere. Also, smoking is good for you.
Some of the same flacks have been involved in both disinformation
efforts, according to:
"For years, a network of fake citizens' groups and bogus scientific
bodies has been claiming that science of global warming is inconclusive.
They set back action on climate change by a decade. But who funded them?
Exxon's involvement is well known, but not the strange role of Big
Tobacco. In the first of three extracts from his new book, George
Monbiot tells a bizarre and shocking new story."

"Scientist Who Spearheaded Attacks on Global Warming Science Also
Directed $45 Million Tobacco Industry Effort to Hide Health Impacts of
Smoking."

Unfortunately, a certain number of people will believe them. Because
it's comforting to think there's no problem. Light up and be healthy!
Don't worry about inefficient cars and dirty coal plants, they are
all-natural, practically organic!
Profits are up, it's all good, nothing to see here. Pay no attention to
the peer-reviewed science. Surely if we ignore it, it can't hurt us...
Cheers,
