Hello
What do you think about this? When it happens? |

Global warming is a natural occurring phenomenon that has happened countless times in the past and that will happen regardless of how well/bad we treat our ozone. Yes, humans can speed up an ice age caused by global warming but only by a few generations. However, preventing ozone pollution can not and will not stop global warming.
If this is a prelude to a "Man caused global warming" conversation, please don't bother as you'd be completely wrong. Man's actions can affect mother nature, but Man doesn't dictate was she does. Carbon dioxide & greenhouse gas contribute to the speed of global warming, but lack of them will not prevent global warming.
According to several creditable scientists, we are overdue for an ice age anyway. Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not suggesting we all stop caring about our choices when it comes to living healthier/cleaner. I'm simply tired of reading/hearing how it's all Man's fault, when nothing could be further from the truth. |

I'm going to offer my 2 cents (aka, an opinion) here...
I'll accept that no matter what humans do (or don't do) as a species, global warming is going to happen anyway (look at earth's history and read up on the last ice age to verify that) - but all we as a species can do is either speed it up, or keep it going at it's natural pace (I don't believe we can slow it down no matter what we do - lest we start pumping CO2 out of our atmosphere and into Jupiter's) |

| we have current technologies that do remove CO2 at the sum of millions of tons per year. This of course isn't anywhere near what we dump into the atmosphere. We don't want to remove too much anyway, that's what plants and trees do, they convert CO2 to oxygen. |

I say screw it all. God put us on Earth, God will be the one to take us out, its at his discretion as to when. Isn't a damn thing we can do exept live life the best we can while we can.
(I'm not religious, but I do belive everything was put here for a reason) |

I agree, except "the best we can" shouldn't include destroying our home (earth) or breathing in toxins that could ultimately kill us ... etc.
For the last 100 years or more we have been living the "best" that our tiny brains allowed us to live, for next 100 years things should be vastly improved upon. |
