Yeah. I would find this hilarious, but the science is just incorrect--plants are a CO2 sink. Animals are CO2 emitters. It's pretty simple.

As noted below, that's the joke, son. That's why the comment says"Republican science at its finest."

That's the pun. The science is supposed to be incorrect.

Oh, I know. And again, I like your piece. I just think it might be funnier if you depicted the Republicans as misinterpreting the science, rather than getting it blatantly backwards.

This poaster was prompted by the Republicans outright lies about climate change, claiming that CO2 isn't a pollutant because humans emit it in their breath, etc.

Errrr....They emit Oxygen? They're nature's way of ensuring we don't pollute the air with greenhouse gases? God, humans can be so dumb

LOL silly Republicans, trees emit Carbon Dioxide not CO2.

Sorry in advance if you meant to be sarcastical on this one, but Carbon dioxide IS CO2.

I was indeed trying to be sarcastic. It's okay.

They sort of already have, for a while. During the Bush Administration, they sold stuff so that it looks green and forested from the roads, but beyond that, they are cut down, so that people don't really notice a difference. And they only emit CO2 at night. During the day, it's O2.

Yeah! Down with trees! Breathing and living is overrated *sarcasm*.
