Of course it's a liberal vs. conservative issue. If it were a scientific issue, the scientists would be in charge of working things out. But it's actually some thing else. Bush is evil. Bush is from Texas. Oil is from Texas. Oil comes from big corporations. Big corporations are evil. Therefore oil is evil every way you look at it. To strike back at Bush and corporations, say that CO2 from oil is killing the planet.
If the liberals were semi-literate and consistent about CO2, they would demand that we snuff out the largest emitter of CO2 on the planet--the Amazon rain forest. But no, they're not concerned enough about CO2 to go after the biggest problem. They're actually just against Bush and corporations.
Let's be real, though. The most influential "greenhouse gas" is water vapor. Clouds. But nobody wants to demand cloud control, because that doesn't strike a blow against Bush and the corporations.
