But zero emissions of what? CO2 is as harmless as steam, or less so, if you do believe human-generated greenhouse gasses are warming the planet. Water vapour and methane are the big greenhouse gasses, CO2 is a trace gas that is heavy and sinks away into the sea at the first opportunity, where it dissolves or is locked up in phytoplankton. Zero emissions of plutonium, great, let's make it happen. Sulphur can go too. Banning emissions of CO2 is really pointless, one volcano will release more in a single eruption than we can reduce in our emissions in 20 years. I totally agree there are plenty of poisons being released and that has to stop, but CO2 seems like a red herring. It's not a dangerous pollutant, it's not lead or plutonium or mercury which have no safe limits for human consumption, it's just a perfectly safe trace gas plants rely upon and which humans can breathe in very high concentrations with no ill effects. Aluminium oxide, which is apparently being sprayed in chemtrails on some pretext of fighting global warming, on the other hand, is poisonous to humans, animals and plants. Barium "salts" can't be any good for the crops either.
