I'm going to print that and frame it!

Well if anything the mental condition that seems to affect western
affluent youth who turn to destructive hate filled leftish dogma to
rebel against Pater and Mater is also a phenomenon that needs to be
recognised. Some of these well fed spoilt youth go on to work in the
very institutions that they so apparently despised when on their
demonstrations.

Some however almost pickle in their self-loathing thus clouding their
perspective of history to such a degree that they actually believe
there was a golden age when all humans and nature lived in blissful
harmony. It’s almost a version of creationism where the golden age
where all lived happily and idyllically ever after and that has been
dated to end just before the industrial revolution. These lefty
nutters who find their spiritual home in the BBC and Guardian type
organisations spout out hatred for all that represents western
society, they hate our history, our achievements and our democracies.
They also hate Christianity as a moribund reactionary force yet
*embrace* Muslim fundamentalism as a progressive force in with which
to destroy the evil western world.

Anyhow rant balance now achieved back to Co2.

I defy anyone to show me any textbook scientific reference to life
enabling Co2 being a pollutant pre-AGW hysteria.
