Actually, Dick Cabez (hypocritical grammar Nazi), you both missed the your/you’re error.

…and I don’t think US/UK has anything to do with it.

PaulUK said “Food: eat to little or two much – your dead.”

I realize that we speak English a little different here in the US but I think you meant

Food: eat too little or too much – your dead

Michele is a perfect example of someone who proves that “School is Stupid.” Thats right, school is for dumb people who think that an education gets you ahead in life. What actually gets you ahead in life is a moronic view of the world, science, the US constitution and CO2. So lets all strap plastic bags over our heads and prove that carbon dioxide is not dangerous, it is a natural fertalizer for the brain that brings people closer to God!!!

God Bless Michele Bachmann and God Bless Minnosota!!!!

Carbon dioxide’s normal constituent earth’s atmosphere is about 383 ppm (.0383%). On the floor of the House of Representatives, Rep. Michelle Bachmann said 3% of our air’s composition is CO2, or 30,000 ppm. NIOSH’s permissible exposure limits in the workplace of CO2 is 5000 ppm, and it is considered immediately dangerous to life and health at a concentrations of 40,000 ppm. Bachmann knows not of what she speaks

Some things that can kill you:

Food: eat to little or two much – your dead.
Water: drink it and your OK, fill your lungs with it – your dead.
Air: Not enough – your dead, change the pressure, to high or to low – your dead.

Natural substances can kill because humans evolved to survive within some limited ranges. If limits of those ranges change, then the probability of survival changes.
Small amounts of something also bare no relation to their overall impact. Many lethal poisons are actually lethal to humans at trace levels, so the fact that a substance is a small percentage has no meaning.

I often think many economists and politicians raise the issue of CO2 being a small percentage of the atmosphere, because they have learn’t the importance of big and small numbers in economic terms. eg. a small percentage of something (0.04%) in economics could possibly be ignored.

However the logic of economics and politics can not be applied to other areas of expertise.

The gas that is produced in my digestive tract is a natural product as well. So Ms Bachmann should have no reason to object should it be expelled in her face…
