Green

I feel compelled to address the ongoing Orwellian speak being accepted by intelligent people everywhere. The subject is the acceptance of the "Green" label for things that minimize the release of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide).
For example: By shutting down coal burning power plants, we will reduce the amount of CO2 released and thereby encourage ways of producing energy that does not release CO2. These new ways of producing energy, sans CO2, is the "Green" way to produce energy.
Incredible; have we completely lost our collective intelligence?
Flora, all plant green things, require CO2 as their life's blood in order to be green. More CO2, more green things. More green things, more O2 for Humans and other animals as a byproduct.
