Why is CO2 a bad thing?  Don't plants use it for photosynthesis?  Wouldn't  
it make our planet a greener place?  Wouldn't it encourage growth of trees  
and plants that industrialization destroys?

Pollution seems to an important issue to deal with for health reasons  
alone, but I don't know how increased CO2 is going to destroy us any  
faster than disease, war, and bad health habits.
