Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

IIRC, plants indeed grew faster around CO2. However, crops had less nutrients so it wasn't worth it. The theory was plants worked harder with less CO2 around, had to pull more stuff from the soil.
