 Many people are worried about carbon dioxide in the atmosphere trapping in heat with a greenhouse effect.

Others are even more worried about methane, which is a much more potent greenhouse gas.

But nobody is worried about the REAL danger... FAR worse than those two is a SUPER POTENT greenhouse gas that is so prevalent and so thick that you can SEE IT making white billowing structures in the sky.

Dihydrogen monoxide!  It will kill us all! 
 Sabine Hossenfelder is a piece of work 
 Are you watching my YouTube history? How did you know her video of 10 hours ago inspired this post? 
 Because you were beating around her bush 
 that's an old joke ... 
 although it is 100% certain that if Klaus Schwab wanted he could make Liberals glue themselves to the road to protest Dihydrogen Monoxide and we would all be fined for emitting it ... 
 Only if you don’t wait 30 minutes before going swimming. 
 Ha ha 😂

. . . on a more serious note.

Plants need CO2. They breathe it.

The CO2 Coalition puts together evidence showing that CO2 levels are actually really low, and that we shouldn't be removing it from our atmosphere.

 It is a matter of perspective. If you were a dinosaur you'd be shivering and in shock that the polar ice caps don't melt during the summer. Brrrr. 
 Actually this year is warmer than normal, and I've read that the cause is that big volcano in the pacific which increased the amount of dihydrogen monoxide by 10%.  It should return to normal in a few years as the atmosphere rebalances it self by making the extra amount FALL OVER OUR HEADS.

now, this really should make one run to the hills.
