We could correct that in just a few minutes: give me a large tank of CO2 and a small room containing Michele Bachmann, and we&#8217;ll give her a personal experience.<\/p>\n<p>    * The atmosphere is 3% CO2? Is she really that ignorant? It&#8217;s more like 0.03%. And again, no one is arguing that CO2 is evil \u2014 it&#8217;s that its concentration has distinct effects on the temperature of the planet, and that concentration is changing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/allbleedingstops.blogspot.com\/2009\/04\/express-train-to-crazytown.html\">The Express Train to Crazytown<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/stxc.blogspot.com\/2009\/04\/republican-catechism-vs-science.html\">Republican catechism vs science<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/badastronomy\/2009\/04\/26\/neocarbon\/\">Neocarbon<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/scienceblogs.com\/gregladen\/2009\/04\/replace_michele_bachmann.php\">Replace Michele Bachmann<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/worldofweirdthings.com\/2009\/04\/26\/a-bad-week-for-science-in-politics\/\">a bad week for science in politics<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/thecuckingstool.blogspot.com\/2009\/04\/actually-we-need-more-carbon-emissions.html\">\u201cActually, we need more carbon emissions\u201d<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mockpaperscissors.com\/?p=17598\">Bachmann-the-Nut, Scientist<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/commentsfromleftfield.com\/2009\/04\/michele-bachmann-a-byproduct-of-oxygen-deprivation\/\">Michele Bachmann: A Byproduct of Oxygen Deprivation<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/moderateleft.com\/?p=5358\">Stark, Raving Mad<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of points from Pharyngula: * She repeats over and over that CO2 is a natural gas.
