[Is air with trace amounts of CO2 in it "unclean"?]

[Lindsey Graham] “I believe the green economy is coming. That’s not a question of if it’s going to happen, it’s just when it’s going to happen. The sooner the better for me, because the jobs of the future lie in energy independence and cleaning up the environment…. Why can’t America have the cleanest air?”
