          Depends on what you cook it with. It's pretty bland by itself. My priest's wife makes an amazing sloppy joe tofu during Lent.

            The usual response to this from climate change alarmists is to say that even a trace amount of arsenic in water will kill you, but CO2 in our atmosphere is in no way analogous to arsenic. In other words, destroying the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people will in no way "save" the planet or prevent the perfectly normal temperature cycles the Earth has experienced since Creation.

            Here are some facts for you:

            Flawed Projections
            • IPCC and virtually all the governments of the world depend on global climate models (GCMs) to forecast the effects of human-related greenhouse gas emissions on the climate.
            • GCMs systematically over-estimate the sensitivity of climate to carbon dioxide (CO2), many known forcings and feedbacks are poorly modeled, and modelers exclude forcings and feedbacks that run counter to their mission to find a human influence on climate.
            • NIPCC estimates a doubling of CO2 from pre-industrial levels (from 280 to 560 ppm) would likely produce a temperature forcing of 3.7 Wm-2 in the lower atmosphere, for about ~1°C of prima facie warming.
            • Four specific forecasts made by GCMs have been falsified by real-world data from a wide variety of sources. In particular, there has been no global warming for some 18 years.

            False Postulates
            • Neither the rate nor the magnitude of the reported late twentieth century surface warming (1979–2000) lay outside normal natural variability.
            • The late twentieth century warm peak was of no greater magnitude than previous peaks caused entirely by natural forcings and feedbacks.
            • Historically, increases in atmospheric CO2 followed increases in temperature, they did not precede them. Therefore, CO2 levels could not have forced temperatures to rise.
            • Solar forcings are not too small to explain twentieth century warming. In fact, their effect could be equal to or greater than the effect of CO2 in the atmosphere.
            • A warming of 2°C or more during the twenty-first century would probably not be harmful, on balance, because many areas of the world would benefit from or adjust to climate change.

            No amount of inane mockery alters the fact that the climate-change deniers are wrong. Your source, ‘The Heartland Institute’ focuses on so-called "free market environmentalism," which is Newspeak for “denialism” and it has a history of putting corporate profit above the health of the planet’s future. In short it is a fringe group of self-interested fanatics, e.g. they once advocated for the tobacco industry...a Philip Morris executive was on Heartland Institute’s board. It is a leading supporter of climate change denial, rejecting the scientific consensus on global warming and says that policies to fight it would be damaging to the economy.

            OTOH the vast majority, i.e. ninety-seven percent, of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are most likely due to human activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.
