It is true that the clamor over "global cooling" didn't begin to approach the current levels of concern over "global warming. There are many reasons for that. But to suggest that the reason is that they were wrong then, and are right now, based solely upon the differences in concern, is ridiculous. And to deny that the science existed then is an attempt to rewrite history. Remove the money and power from the "global warming" issue and let's see just how much "concern" remains. |

At the present time, Environmental Science is being taught from an economics standpoint in both high school and colleges in the US. That conbtributes to the problem and obfuscates the real science that should be studied. |

That conbtributes to the problem and obfuscates the real science that should be studied. Not at all. It's a reality-based approach. Environmental Science is integrally linked to economics. Wasn't that an argument in this thread? If you take the money away, the problem will go away, right? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Your memory is either faulty or selective. The "Global Cooling" you remember was caused by an observable hole in the ozone layer, created by the widespread indiscriminate use of fluorocarbons. The ozone layer is needed because it is what enables the greenhouse effect, which helps keep the surface temps where they are. If we hadn't done something about it, the hole would have eventually gotten bigger to the point where the earth would not be able to maintain even temperatures. That problem was clearly man made. That's why things such as Freon are no longer in production. The Ozone layer has subsequently recovered, because earthlings stopped destroying it. Now we have added so much CO2 to the atmosphere that the greenhouse effect has strengthened beyond design specs. Too much greenhouse effect is as bad, or worse than too little. It needs to be "just right", which it was until we screwed it up. There are too many logical and factual flaws in your argument for me to address them all, so I won't even try. But you might want to do some research on the Montreal Protocol and the current state of the "ozone hole." As for how much greenhouse effect is "just right," that is entirely subjective. There is no "normal and natural" climate on this planet. The entire planet is in a constant state of flux -- we humans just happen to be comfortable with the current climate and so we want to keep it this way. But in doing so, we are fighting every natural process on Earth. Global Climate Change is the norm, not an anomoly. |

I'm sure the dinosaurs were quite happy with the levvels of greenhouse gasses present during their existence...as were teh whooly mammoths during theirs. The earth changes. It always has, it always will and the living beings on the earth either adapt or die. The onl;y difference between us and the dinasaurs or mammoths is that we possess the hubris to think we are capable of changing the earth to any but but slight variances. I'm not saying that we should not be careful and guard what we do for the preservationof our own species, but the idea that we are responsible for global climitazation alone? The facts are that this earth is cyclical and that it is presently entering a new cycle. Yes, clean up the mess so we don't have to breathe it, eat it, or live in swill but realize that the warming and cooling of the earth is beyond our control short of a nuclear war. |
