There Needs to be a Re-Examination of Carbon Dioxide as a Killing Gas

"The average residential CMP Delivery amount includes about $15 per month in non-CMP costs to support Maine public policy initiatives including net energy billing subsidies, low-income assistance and energy efficiency."
That message came with my electric bill. How much is too much to reduce greenhouse gases from the atmosphere?  As I listen to people telling of the dangers of carbon dioxide, and how this substance must be eradicated from electricity production, transportation, agriculture and home heating, I conjure up a scene of a recession of civilization culminating in the return of cave dwelling.
 Can we agree on some facts?
 1. Carbon dioxide is a natural occurring gas.
 2. Carbon dioxide is integral to vegetation growth.
 3. Volcanoes and wildfires produce amounts of carbon dioxide that exponentially surpasses all fossil fuel chemical reactions.
  4. Volcanoes and wildfires are naturally occurring events.
  5. Climate is defined by trends in temperature.
  6. The climate changes in a somewhat cyclic way, sometimes warming, sometimes cooling
  7. The planet could very well be experiencing a warming period, or a warming period within a cooling period.
  8. Depending how the length of time a warming/cooling period is defined, an abrupt length of time within a defined period could be contrary to the period's assigned designation.
  9. These periods are beyond human control.
10. These periods develop due to many variables.
11.  Humans have yet to discover all variables pertaining to climate or how each variable interacts with each other.
12. The present concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is accepted as approximately 450 parts per million.
13. The optimum concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for vegetation growth is around 1000 ppm.
14. Most terrestrial life would cease at carbon dioxide levels below 150 ppm. 
15. Could be that carbon dioxide concentrations increase with warming cycles.
16. Could be that carbon dioxide concentrations decrease with cooling cycles.
17. We know not enough to claim continued use of fossil fuels to enhance the living experience will kill us all.
18. Trying to control the climate through public policy that will cost trillions and reduce human living conditions needs to be carefully examined.

We would all perish if CO2 were eliminated from the atmosphere, yet children are being taught that CO2 is the enemy and must be eliminated.  What ever happened to real science?

It annoying that a cold snap is always contributed to weather, whereas a heat wave is always attributed to global warming.  And has anyone else noticed that the daily average highs and lows have "dropped" the year listing the record highs and lows?  Obviously those dates don't fit their "hockey stick" agenda.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
