NASA: Environmental disaster avoided on ozone loss

By SETH BORENSTEIN

WASHINGTON (AP) — Here's rare good news about an environmental
crisis: We dodged disaster with the ozone layer. A NASA study about
ozone- munching chemicals from aerosol sprays and refrigeration
used a computer model to play a game of what-if. What if the world
22 years ago didn't agree to cut back on chlorofluorocarbons which
cause a seasonal ozone hole to form near the South Pole?

NASA atmospheric scientist Paul Newman said the answer is a
"bizarre world."

By 2065, two-thirds of the protective ozone layer would have
vanished and "the ozone hole covers the Earth." And the CFCs,
which are long- lived potent greenhouse gases, would have pushed
the world's temperature up an extra 4 degrees.
[ . . . ]
"It is a real horrible place," Newman told The Associated Press.
But that dreadful scenario was "a world avoided," according to the
paper published this week in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and
Physics.

After scientists raised warnings in the early 1970s — later
earning a Nobel Prize — 193 nations agreed in the1987 treaty
called the Montreal Protocol to cut CFC emissions. CFCs had been
used in air conditioning, aerosol sprays, foam packaging and other
products.

Newman, the co-chair of the protocol's scientific panel, said the
study provides hope that the world can do the same thing on another
looming but even harder to solve environmental problem: Global
warming.

"There's a huge lesson to be learned here," said Paul Wapner,
director of Global Environmental Politics at American University.
"In significant cases, human beings can get together and arrive at
international or global principles and avoid ecological
catastrophe."

No kidding. Computer models prove that? Amazing. Considering that
they've been clearly shown to be unable to predict anything useful
in terms of the climate.

A completely insane lie. lol

But they can be used to confirm the horrors of

ozone on the world. Dr Susan Solomon ought to be propud of her work
on behalf of the anti-ozone movement and now on behalf of the IPCC.

Just more garbage-in garbage-out Mannian manipulation of data and
algorithems to fake some modicum of credibility. It has failed as
usual.

A completely insane lie. lol

Some people just have no professional pride. That they would
actually go thru that kind of charade and actually put their
signatures on it. Shame.

A completely insane lie. lol- Hide quoted text -

nice trolling.... moron.

You make us look like geniuses by comparison, keep up the good work.

continual false accusations of lying....

moron....another post that shows the stark contrast between the
activist rantings of idiotic agwers and the steady strong reason of us
non-alarmists. You make us look like geniuses by contrast.
