- Don't scream until you have all the facts. Global warming is
- indeed occurring. The question is "Why?" Some people say
- that it is because of industrial pollution and other human-
- related factors. Others (myself included) simply state that
- the world exited the last Ice Age only 18,000 years ago and
- the average temperature in 1990 was still 11 degrees BELOW
- the average temperature for the last billion years. This
- seems to indicate that the temperature on Earth fluctuates
- wildly. If you chart out these average temps, you can see that
- we are coming out of a deep valley that represents the last
- Ice Age.
-
- I can testify to the alarming rate of the buildup of greenhouse
- gases in the atmosphere, which is something that should be
- controlled. If we don't care about nature, let's at least
- take care of ourselves. A study showed that three out of
- four young men in LA had unnatural growths in their lungs.
-
- Also, Global Warming and the thinning of the ozone layer
- are not necessarily connected. The ozone layer traps
- ultraviolet radiation, not infrared, and wouldn't keep heat
- in (Greenhouse Effect). Also, if you compare the levels
- of ozone in the late '70s to today, you would see that
- ozone thinning is happening. Why? Nobody knows. CFC's
- is a good place to start.
-
- What really needs to happen is some major funding for
- programs to study these problems to really determine what
- is going on. Then we can figure out what we are gonna do
- about it(if we can do anything).
