Carbon Dioxide: Is It Really As Bad As They Say It Is?

Forum, Friday, September 14, 2001,  7:00 p.m., Pyle Adult Center (See Calendar for detailed instructions on how to get there.)

Is the internal combustion engine the greatest threat ever to be faced by humanity?  Is the CO2 it emits the world’s worst air pollutant?  Does God demand we abandon fossil fuels and cover America with row upon row of windmills?  Worse yet, does your child come home from school and accuse you of not being “earth friendly”?  Do the “talking heads” on television make you wonder if yours is screwed on properly, when they associate almost every weather disaster on the planet with the ongoing rise in the air’s CO2 content, but you’re not so sure about it?  More importantly, do you cringe at the thought that nearly every head-of-state on earth is ready to take Draconian actions to force the climate to do their bidding?  … and that the only ones bright enough to see their folly is you and President Bush?

If these things keep you awake at night – doubting your sanity and wondering if you might have gotten into Mensa by mistake – take heart, you’re not alone.  Come to the Friday Forum and hear the other side of the story from Dr. Sherwood Idso, father of Drs. Craig and Keith Idso who run the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change and publish the weekly CO2 Science Magazine on the internet at www.co2science.org.   They have graciously offered to loan their favorite Scientific Advisor to us for an evening of stimulating and politically incorrect conversation.
