COAL PLANT
HOUSE PLANT.
- BOTH EMIT CO2.
- SO DO YOU.
- IF YOU FEEL THAT CO2 IS CAUSING AGW AND THAT AGW IS POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC, THEN GET RID OF YOUR HOUSE PLANTS...

LMAO.. Truer words have not been spoken!!

Sorry to be a party pooper but plants ingest CO2 and produce oxygen.

aj ;
your idiocy knows no bounds:
wiki:
"Plant respiration is the oxidation of certain substrates by enzymes, leading to a release of carbon dioxide.
It can be loosely thought of as the opposite of photosynthesis, though the net release of carbon dioxide in respiration is less than carbon uptake in photosynthesis.
Sources of glucose for respiration for plants are starch or directly from photosynthesis."
IOW: not all the co2 a plant respires is taken up/bound.
repeat: aj: u r a jerk.
BTW, aj: howz dat insane litvinenko theory of yours working out!?!?!?
moron!
The oxidation of carbohydrate to CO2 and H20 in living cells is generally termed respiration.
In plant vegetation there are two main types of respiration.
The first is called dark respiration (Rd) and includes various pathways of substrate oxidation such as glycolysis, the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA or Krebs) cycle.
These conserve some of the free energy in carbohydrate in the high energy bonds of ATP, reduced pyridine nucleotide (NADH) and FADH2.
The term dark respiration also covers the further oxidation of NADH and FADH2 by transfer of electrons through the various electron transfer complexes of the mitochondrial electron transport pathway.
The second type of respiration in plants is called photorespiration (reviewed by Ogren, 1984 [Ogren, 1984 #558]).
This is the pathway of CO2 production via the photorespiratory carbon oxidation (PCO) cycle. The same enzyme (Rubisco) that catalysis the carboxylation of RuBP as the first step of the PCR cycle can also catalyse the oxygenation of RuBP to phosphoglycollate as the first step of the PCO cycle.
Details of respiratory metabolism in plants are reviewed in Amthor (1991) [Amthor, 1991 #1751].

and this - u moron:
"A quantitatively important by-product of respiration is CO2 and, therefore, plant and ecosystem respiration play a major role in the global carbon cycle."
