Carbon dioxide is not "carbon", it is a compound of carbon. Compounds do not always behave much like the elements they are made up of. We need to change the rhetoric on this: "reducing carbon" is nonsensical, considering you, me and all the plants and animals around us contain carbon compounds. If they mean anthropogenic climate change, then there are better ways to phrase it.


It's pretty well understood in the scientific communities studying this topic what carbon means and why carbon is the biggest driver of climate change and warming.... Do you have a particular issue or just the usual well poisoning on human caused climate change.
