If CO2 is such a killer gas why don't the greens go after beer:

and dry ice, champagne and soda pop. Well the could try to find out how to deal with coal seam fires, but that requires work.

Because they would be hunted down and exterminated to the last man.

Because they can count.

You on the other hand obviously cannot. The total amount of carbonation used in a year by all six billion of us is five minutes at one coal-fired power plant or thirty seconds at a cement plant. Our methane contribution is far more substantial, both in terms of the actual global warming increase, and in terms of global warming potential, because methane is longer-lived in the atmosphere; thousands of years IIRC.

This argument is silly.
