- Ouch, global warming hardly assumes an equal increase of
- temperatures. There will be hot spots and cold spots. Global warming
- is not to mistaken for a global increase in temperature but a
- increase in the average global temperature.

- Ozone depletion <> global warming. A common missunderstanding.
- And why do you say ozone depletion has not occured. There are 40
- year old records showing a decreasing trend in the ozone
- concentration, very well correlated with the increase in CFC
- production. Furthermore, the mechanism of how CFC's interact with
- ozone has been well documented. So we have an observation, a
- correlation and the chemical reactions. What more proof do you need
- ? Or what proof do you have that ozone depletion is a myth ?

- What do you mean ? Icecaps that are supposed to melt. An increase in
- average global temperatures will have an impact on the icecaps which
- is not easily to predict. Global warming, unlike ozone depletion, is
- scientifically speaking still a topic of uncertainty. Lots of effort
- is put into obtaining scinetific evidence to prove or disprove these
- assumptions. The well documented increase in CO2 is certainly a
- reason to be careful. I agree when you say that global warming has
- not been proven yet, but noone would deny this. Ozone depletion
- however has been well documented.
