And if you eliminate carbon dioxide--the gentleman is correct--we won't have any plants. If we don't have any plants, oxygen plummets in the atmosphere. And as I told a group of high school students recently, and you know what that means for us? And all, if not most, life forms that currently rely on either carbon dioxide or oxygen will die and all that will be left are the life forms, the microbial life forms that live near hot vents in the ocean or the edges of volcanoes, because they don't rely on that. The rest of life would be wiped out. Now, I know that is not what the Democrats meant when they introduced this, but isn't that the scientific conclusion of removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere; not reducing, removing? Isn't that correct?
