Warmist Phil Plait suggests that skeptics kill themselves?: "If you don’t think that carbon dioxide is a poison, you know, tie a plastic bag over your head for an hour or two..."

Warmist Rant: Bad Astronomer says carbon dioxide is a poison; ‘Tie a plastic bag over your head and let me know’ | JunkScience.com
    [Phil Plait] If you don’t think that carbon dioxide is a poison, you know, tie a plastic bag over your head for an hour or two and let me know, because yes, in certain circumstances, it’s very dangerous.

Of course, if you were to tie a plastic bag around your head, you would die from the lack of oxygen, not CO2 poisoning.

And if Phil Plait stuck his head in a bucket of water, he would also die.

Therefore, using Plait's logic, a tax on hydrogen will save the world.

Peak stupidity for all to see, yet, this person is lauded as sane amongst the climate alarmist brethren.

Using said logic displayed in this article, our atmosphere is made of in LARGE percentages by poisons. In fact all other gases in the atmosphere except oxygen could be there be considered poisons.
Such childish logic is inexcusable, it is the absence of oxygen that is life threatening not the existence of the other gases or their levels. Using such a weak argument shows once again the warmists have nothing, it is a lie.

Oxygen is poisonous too over a certain concentration level.

Oxygen is in fact more toxic than CO2. AND considerably more hazardous, in concentrations above about 20.5%

What nonsense. You would die of lack of oxygen, not CO2 poisoning.
He should try growing plants without any CO2 in the atmosphere, he would die of starvation.
