What is your view of Global Warming and is there a hole in the ozone layer?

Ozone and Global Warming are unrelated.





CO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases.





Look at the 'hockeystick', which shows a dramatic warming since 1950 after a fairly stable climate for 1000 years. In fact, the 10 hottest years in recorded history have all happened since 1990, with 2005 being the hottest.

How's that for proof of man's fault in this? There is ample proof, any real scientist will tell you that.





There has NEVER been an article doubting man's influence on global warming published in a peer-reviewed journal. A recent study of almost 1000 proved that.





Yes, the earth naturally heats and cools, but the rate and amount we are warming now is unprecedented in the recent geologic past. We are doing this, and we must stop it. This is not some political statement or rhetoric. This is science trying to educate a crass, ignorant public of the damage they are doing. The magnitude of temperature increase ALREADY is about 10x that of the 'little ice age' of the middle ages, and rate and amount are only going up.





Just to be clear, glacial and interglacial cycles are mainly controlled by astronomical fluctuations, but we have a detailed record of the last 7 cycles, and what the climate and CO2 is doing now is way different and extreme. The rate of increase is much higher than in the past AND the value itself is much higher.

Global warming = real and very bad





Stop driving inefficient vehicles and wasting so much energy! Ride a bike or walk, use flourescent bulbs, not incandescent!





Ozone layer = has a hole, being fixed since we don't use CFCs





Since the Montreal Protocol CFCs (the cause of ozone depletion) have been outlawed and rarely used (except in some places like China where regulation is difficult). The ozone hole should be healed within the next century. It is VITAL that you understand that global warming and ozone depletion are separate environmental issues and that one is not caused by the other or vice versa.What is your view of Global Warming and is there a hole in the ozone layer?
Both global warming and depletion of the ozone layer are well-established scientific facts.


If you don't ';believe'; in them, you haven't studied the science.
Yes on the Ozone hole.

That Global Warming is everywhere!
