Carbon Dioxide is a good thing. I have the rabbits at my house, well, they actually live in the thistle on my neighbor's land, but that is beside the point. These little pests in the dead of night come over to my garden and eat up my lettuce. Thank goodness they leave my peppers alone. Anyway, they eat my lettuce, and it drives me crazy. Well, I could have used my rifle to kill them all and left them for the buzzards to make a meal out of, but I didn't know when they could come around to find some dead rabbits. I didn't want to have to clean up some dead rabbits, I just bought a pellet riffle powered by CO2. After about a week of pegging them with pellets, they stopped coming around. Every now and then, one or two comes back, but I just have to drop a few pellets, and they are gone for another month. CO2 is a good think.
Another good thing, is sitting on the couch and listening to Feels So Good by Chuck Mangione.
"Europeans are not alone in regards to environmentalism"
USA did not sign Kyoto.
China opens a new coal fired power station each week.
Canada will not abide by Kyoto.
India now 3rd largest user of fossil fuels.
Africa doing nothing.
South America doing nothing
Asia doing nothing.
Think the guy is right, it's only the Europeans doing anything about it.
To start of with, Europeans are not alone in regards to environmentalism. CO2 for recreational purposes is like a drop in the ocean in regards to the over pollution of CO2. Were probably wasting more carbon fuels and inadvertently releasing more CO2 talking about this ridiculous subject on Yahoo Answers. Do a google search of Chinese coal plants, there you'll find a major contributor to your "European slap in the face" CO2 problem.
We should start a war with China and make them stop putting so much CO2 in the air. When we're done we can sit back in our lawn chairs, drink some carbonated beer, and listen to Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good". I'm with Ken on his idea of shooting those dam rabbits (that get in our gardens) with our CO2 powered pellet guns.
Where I live we have a Ethanol plant that uses it's CO2 produced from ethanol production to supply a dry ice plant.
Man I could go for a cold beer right now.
For one thing, beer contains biological carbon dioxide. And you can carbonate a lot of beer with the carbon in a single tank of gas.
it is costly and requires huge resource to create its alternatives
Why is this allowed, making CO2 for recreational purposes?
We have to suffer carbon taxes, our power plants are being shut down with no replacements being built, so why do we manufacture CO2 so some recreational sportsman can have a cold beer?
Where's the sense in it?
This is just a slap in the face for Europeans who alone in the world are trying to help the planet.
