i think this kid is onto something:
Remember the good old days of not being bombarded with movies and cable specials telling the scary tale of global warming? Remember carelessly emitting CFCs all summer and shivering through ice age-esque winters? Those blissful days are gone. Why? We no longer have a luxury we once did: a punctured ozone layer. Look at the diagram below to see how heat interacts with Earth's atmosphere.

The baby blue hole represents the hole in the ozone layer. See how the heat (represented by yellow arrows) escapes? Balance is maintained; temperatures are stable. Apparently some silly environmentalists did not take the time to master this diagram and decided a hole in the ozone layer must be bad. Plenty of good things have holes - donuts, worn in jeans, Billy Idol records. No one tries to unnecessarily repair these. However, the environmentalists got the media on their side and suddenly we were subjected to "Ozone Action Days" during which you aren't supposed to put gas in your car or mow your lawn. This also led to other "rules" like "you must wear pants in public." Anyway, the environmentalist fear mongers won. The ozone was repaired, and our little diagram now looks like this:

Looks like the heat is getting trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. This seems like it would cause a warming of the globe - a global warming if you will. Interesting how the environmentalists turn out to be responsible for global warming. Unless global warming turns out to be wholly untrue - then the environmentalists are guilty of being dumb and annoying. Unlike everyone else who seems to like just talking about global warming, I have a plan. There are two parts to this plan. Step one. Purchase copious amount of freon, condense it into aerosol spray cans, then (from a distance) shoot the can with a pistol. Step two. Build a bonfire. When it is flaming up nice and good, throw in the aerosol can remnants and several batteries. Then all that's left is to sit back and wait for the hole in the ozone to reopen and propel Earth into another ice age.
Maybe I will make those two diagrams into a PowerPoint presentation. Hell I could win an Oscar.

he's right about donuts, though.
- Gucci0
you sure? billy idol records wasn't a tip-off at all... maybe he's serious?
:/
- Witt0
ok. terribly wrong with billy, possibly right with donuts.

imo, the trouble with blogs is that people feel compelled to write almost daily to keep it alive - and so a large number of bloggers become poor journalists.
hence the nonsense.

i've recently developed a taste for blogs .. please direct me to decent ones.

thank you, jaylarson
and witt .. the absolute loser response of the year goes to you:

(May 28 07, 13:30)"pointing out an issue without offering an example of someone who is doing it right is the ultimate wizard of oz bullshit in my book. sorry.
to just summarize all blogs and bloggers like this is small minded.

I'm with dotm on this, too many scientist and journalist careers depend on the human induced CO2 theory for me to take it without doubt, especially that there are strong voices against it
- Witt0
you're probably right _salisae_. and generalizing as fast as you can aswell.

I agree - in fact I've thought it for a while now. I remember in the 70's being told about how we were entering an ice age and how we'd destoryed the ozone layer and it could never be repaired and we would all freeze to death like the dinasours. Now it's all change, and we're over heating, and the ozone layer is repaired but I still have to be burdened with some guilt about my 4x4 or my flights.
It's all about fear, control and taxation, in my opinion. It's a back up to the "war on terror". No one can argue with it just in case it is true, but somehow I'm not convinced.
I say blast the ozone layer and get some equilibrium back if the plant is warming up. If it's not, then don't try and scare the pants off me with your climate change fear script 'cause I'd really like to just get on with my life without wakiing up in a cold sweat worrying about my children's future.

sure thing shari. nice work btw.
