Give them a chance. It won’t be long before they’re measuring our exhalations.

If you think this through, then TV itself has a huge carbon footprint. If they shut down TV completely it could help save the planet!

Now CBS will have something to brag about.

They're zero-carbon, since no one watches them.

Its insane... now electrons cause "global warming?" These people just come up with creative new ways to peddle their scam to a gullible public.

And by never televising anything with Al Gore in it ever again.

This whole "carbon" fraud is so OVER.

Why is this so popular with politicians? Among scientists (real ones) it's become an embarrassment.

At the same time they should be measuring the growth of vegetation that uses the CO2 and produces O2 that humans, and other animals, need to survive.

I think it’s high time for a class action lawsuit against perpetrators of this global scam and starting with Al Gore.

It is causing fear in the lives of our children and will, in the end, cause every American great financial loss and end our way of life, as we know it.

Bring Al Gore and all those ‘scientist’s into a court of law and see how they hold up against FACTS.

All these people are eco-terrorist’s and should be held accountable for the fear and terror they are spreading.

quit being silly! Everyone knows that evil humans create CO2 and that plants don't use CO2 to grow. It's impossible for there to be more plant growth when there's more Co2 because the oceans are going to rise and kill the plants off! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH /s

We live in Oz.
