Common Misconceptions about Climate Change
... Pollutant is a catch-all term. CO2 is more correctly thought of as a greenhouse gas than as a pollutant. The cycling of each type of matter (nitrogen, phosphorous, carbon, water) are independent, though they may affect each other. Carbon moves between the atmosphere, the earth, and water due to fact ...
