Carbon MONOXIDE is a poison and has always been regulated...carbon DIOXIDE is a naturally produced chemical and can now be regulated by the EPA.....cow farts come to mind..it is necessary for life to exist.not the cow farts, carbon dioxide

Thanks for that. I wasn't aware of it. Need to do more review to see what it is about.

Since the premise for this post has been de-bunked (had me going too, so no blame on the originator) I don't mind participating in a "hijack".

Yes, do read more, because actually in high enough concentration C02 is "toxic" at about 10% (many times the normal concentration). Hence the Lake Manoun incident (many human and livestock deaths) and potential at Mammoth lakes. When deep lakes "burp" or there are volcanic sources of C02you want to leave the area quickly! Here is a well researched paper on the subject http://www.iub.edu/~sierra/papers/2009/fitzgerald.html

And if you buy a car that does 150 mph, Theres a chance you may drive a bit over the legal speed limits.
Some poeple use speed limit signs as a gauge.
Well... not me. I always obey... cough, cough...

I agree with Jeff, I've never instigated anyone driving a corvette either
