There's definitely a balance to be struck there between arrogance that we could control things and ignorance that we can't affect things. Don't forget we DID cause the ozone hole, and that's mighty big on the global scale.

Are you so sure that we did Sput?

I don't readily have access to evidence of how the Ozone Layer of our atmosphere has behaved over the last few million years. I only suggest that we stop and think about the scare-mongering that is currently underway. It is politically driven which is wrong.

Yep. It's to do with CFC transport, its destructive effects on ozone and the circum-polar winds varying by season. Couldn't be anything else because CFCs are artificial in nature. They were in fact designed to replace ammonia, which used to run fridges, because a faceful of that from a broken pipe ain't nice!

I imagine that's the reason for the absence of an avatar :shock:

Human engineered products have had no, I repeat NO effect on the environment. If they were going tp do so it would be in hundreds of years from now.

I am sick of this political scam!

That's a bizarre statement. Are you really saying the smogs of the fifties were a natural phenomenon

They were probably caused by people smoking bacon.

Well since they resulted in a drop in temperature then perhaps they were a good thing.
