What is it about?

Why is it important?
There are billions of dollars being spent on climate science and the idea that CO2 will cause the end of life as we know it: this is simple fallacy and the hypersensitivity of carbon dioxide must be ignored and replaced with focus on the real environmental damage in pollution on land and sea, of toxic waste from industrial activity, agriculture, military activity, and deforestation.
