"There's nothing bad about Carbon Dioxide. The more the better".
That guy is a scientist? He clearly missed some of the lectures given while he was at university...and in high school...and middle school....and elementary school.

You should offer to debate them. You can bring your middle school science book too so you can really blow him out of the water.
There is nothing bad with Carbon Dioxide. Its beneficial to plant life and required for the regeneration of oxygen (as we consume it, we require plants to regenerate it via photosynthesis). Without CO2, earth would be uninhabitable.
Weird. I saw a documentary that suggested this to be incorrect. It was titled "Apollo 13". Here's the link if you want to watch.

Lol. I guess you should stop breathing because you are creating carbon dioxide and it can kill you. (Actually it doesn't, its the depravation of oxygen that actually kills you).
Edit: By the way, this explains a lot. I knew you lefties took the Hollywood liberals seriously, but apparently you even rely on their published works of fiction for your basis of knowledge.
Actually CO2 can kill you. If you can't expire enough CO2, hydrogen ions will accumulate and cause a respiratory acidosis. Acidosis reduces the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin which reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. Acidosis also disrupts normal cellular function. A pH below 6.9 isn't very compatible with normal cellular function and will be fatal due to multiple organ failure if not corrected.
Thanks for saving me the time to explain the above.
Back to the "Scientist"s quote: "there's nothing bad about CO2. The more the better".
No. You can die from the accumulation of carbon dioxide despite having adequate oxygen.
Have these scientist place a plastic bag over their head and see how long they think "the more the better"
Carbon Dioxide is a benign chemical that human's can't process, but that does NOT make it a bad chemical. My statement is not wrong, and without CO2, humans couldn't exist.
I never said CO2 was bad. I was simply addressing the part of your post that is in fact incorrect.
Humans can process CO2 and do it all day, every day. In fact, your body is processing CO2 right now.
Well, if you can't trust the "Heartland Institute" who can you trust? (Hint, for about 20 yrs, they were paid by Philip Morris Tobacco to deny that cigarette smoking (directly) and 2nd Hand Smoke (indirectly) was a cause of lung cancer.) They rode that pony for that time, until Philip Morris and other tobacco companies finally admitted it was all true and reached a settlement with the Federal and State govts.
After that $ was no longer available to them (having been locked out of lobbying for Tobacco) they turned to advocacy trying to push back against Global Climate change. If we know now that they were more than willing to lie their asses off for Philip Morris and other tobacco companies, how should we assess their credibility now that they have turned their attention to Global Climate Change and changed their patronage from Philip Morris to the Oil/Gas industry?

That would be a great way to argue that the science isn't settled either way. I say go for it!
