That's a very peculiar argument. The eco system can deal with a certain
amount of CO2 production (in fact it requires it). The problem is that
we're possibly upsetting the balance. Slowing down the burn rate might
be sufficient to keep that balance, especially if the alternatives
sources of energy increase the rate of CO2 consumption...
