1.) Plants thrive on CO2. Plants store carbon and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Reducing levels of CO2 is not scientifically or theoretically good for plants. Thus, less plants, less oxygen, less carbon sequestration.

2.) Global warming is not the result of industrialization, nor is it because of farting cows, or black-topped surfaces. Rising temperatures are a result of irrigation on once arid land. Moisture holds heat and therefore recorded temperatures have risen over time as more of the earth’s surface has been turned to agriculture uses. Furthermore, the Big Picture tells us that this warming is not enough to create the future that misguided, fear-mongering Al Gore predicts. Although we may have slightly higher seasonal temperature readings, overall, the earth is in a cooling cycle.

In the future, it might be a good idea for the Democrat to actually quote people who attend events and hear the speakers. Then Democrat readers like Mr. Ferrell would get educated instead of indoctrinated.
