That's Some Mighty Good C-O-2

Yeah, carbon dioxide has a totally bad rap. It's about time someone set the record straight.

You know, back when I was in College Radio, one of the looseleaf sheets in the public service announcement binder (which was full of industry-lobby PR releases) argued that fossil fuels were good for forest growth and agriculture, on account of the C02. I didn't think arguments like this found their way out into legitimate media, but apparently this commercial is actually on TV.

Coming soon: folksy harmonica music sets the tone for a 30-second spot called "Methyl Isocyanate and Me."

(Actually, this angle makes a lot of sense: that it's more about clouding media coverage than actually persuading anyone. I think the answer remains, call a spade a spade, and laugh your ass off at it.)
