    If we have to go natural to save the planet, why then is the CO2 that plants need and comes from baby’s breath and is a building block of life now a poison?

    CO2 is fine when it’s part of the natural order and amount produced by nature. But we’ve burnt stored energy sources which added CO2 to the atmosphere outside the normal amounts required and normal in the earth’s activity. The earth can’t adjust and cleanse itself.

    Things can be good in moderation but then deadly and toxic when used to excess.

    The world isn’t black and white. Global warming is a real. I hope you educate yourself about it soon. Your comments here show you are grossly misinformed.

    We just moved to Colorado and had to leave the old gas lawnmower behind since it wouldn’t fit on the truck. I’m beginning to think that’s the best thing that ever happened to us. Not only was the thing noisy, it was stinky and polluting.

    We will have a very small yard here once we’re done xerascaping the yard (water comes very dear here in CO). What little bit of yard we’ll have we can easily cut using an old-fashioned push mower using people power!

    Oh yeah, the old lawnmower probably won’t get used anymore since we left it with dear brother-in-law. He’ll either never use it (he has a very small yard), or he’ll ruin it–not mechanically inclined at all. Sounds like a great ending to a polluting, noisy monster.

    I’d love to hear what other’s are doing for lawn cutting.

    by environ-MENTAL-ism. This is social insanity disguised as concern and believe it or not, we have been waiting 25 years for these dire predictions from this self
    fulfilling prophecy of one of the building blocks of life, CO2, causing a future climate crisis. Can you honestly look at a clear blue sky and see any present day crisis of climate? For if you separate this silly theory from the environmetnal equation ,what is left is an envronment that is cleaner, safer and better governed than back in the smoggy 70’s when started Rachel Carson’s crusade. She is truly rolling in her grave.
    Global warming’s paralyzing effects on society with its pop culture invasion of science and needless environmental dramas are amounting to nothing more than modern day witch burning. Our climate is not in crisis and if we worked together to rid ourselves of war causing oil with perspective instead fear, we may get a chance to actually be a thinking species. Just as weather itself is feared now and called climate change, let’s remember that back in 1900 they wondered what to do with all of the horses needed by the year 2000. History will laugh, and cry.

    mememine,
    What exactly are you advocating/arguing? That climate change isn’t happening? That people stopped polluting in the 70’s? Either way… wrong forum. This comment section is about a cartoon commenting on the price of gas.

    BTW, nice plagerism in the other comment sections. You should attribute long copy/pasted comments to their authors.

    Great cartoon! My family raised sheep for many years, and they work wonders on the lawn. They even fertilize it for you.

    Just had to put this out there. Any substance can be considered a “poison” or dangerous if there is an excess of it. Water is a “building block of life” but you can drown in it, no?
    Just a thought…
