Why would you expect me to know stuff about the environment, Senator? Let's take a moment to meet Kathleen Hartnett White, Donald Trump's nominee to lead the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), which advises the president on environmental policy and guides national policy priorities on the environment and climate change. On paper, she might seem to have some qualifications: She's the former head of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), that state's equivalent to the EPA, and she heads the Energy and Environment wing of a well-funded think tank, the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF). That's where you start realizing there's a problem: It's Texas, where state agencies don't so much regulate industry as promote it, and where that neutral-sounding "public policy foundation" is funded mostly by the oil industry.

not a nutrient . . . a building block for nutrients, but not a nutrient
OK, but you're missing the point: fossil fuels make us prosperous and so they can't be bad.
I came to say the same thing. THose words don't mean anything when strung together like that.
Who's this "us?" ; )
With Votes!!!!
CO2 is what we breathe out, as "waste product" of respiration. Harmless unless so highly concentrated it displaces oxygen (ie. choking.)
CO, otoh, is highly toxic. Everyone put a CO detector in your house along with smoke detectors!

Great explainer!
Being an old fossil myself, I'd prefer not to be sucking more Co2 than I have to. I invite Ms. Hartnett White to breathe deeply of Fu2 instead.
Maybe she could do some experiments to determine the life-giving effects of carbon monoxide. I mean, it's still carbon, right?

Forget that stuff! Water is essential for life! She should go live in the ocean, like an orca to maximize her health!
Hook her up with a canister of CO2 and a breathing mask.
death worshippers, why can't they just fuck off to their party in the sky and leave the planet for those who love it.
The people who own the fossil fuels.
