[QUOTE]Originally posted by Chimaera: [QB] Hmmm..... That's interesting. I'd like to know where (and when) that study came from, Raven, because according to all the data I've seen (and I'm in environmental engineering, so I've come across it a few times) some of what you found out is, well, wrong. Global warming does raise the overall temperature (by 0.5 C so far), and is due to human activity. People around the world pump out around 10 billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere every year, while volcanoes account for CO2 emmissions of only 100 million tonnes annually. From the research I've seen, there is little doubt left that humans are indeed responsible for global warming, and that it is already underway. Ditto for the ozone hole, the link to man made CFC's has been proven rather conclusively, with high altitude measurements and so on. A nobel prize was awarded a while ago to the scientist (whose name escapes me) who discovered the reaction whereby ozone is destroyed by CFC's. There are, of course, a few scientists who doubt global warming, but as far as I can tell they're being drowned out by a lot of the data that's being collected. [/QB][/QUOTE]
