What allows them to exist? Global warming. One of many cycles of ice age that are pushed back by temperature rises that eventually cycle back to cold.ProudHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305205710265854978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938438889241366279.post-38199310566126223422012-04-17T19:49:40.738-07:002012-04-17T19:49:40.738-07:00I'm just going to tatoo the link to this post ...I'm just going to tatoo the link to this post on my right hand. Next time I get in a "discussion" aboot globalwarmingclimatechangeclimatedisruption, I'm just going to say, talk to the hand.<br />The "ozone hole" was purportedly caused by CFC's. So, the freon that worked so well, R22 was phased out. How a gas that is heavier than air rises to the stratosphere to cause a hole in the ozone was of no consequence. My mind is made up! Don't confuse me with your Facts!<br />When Mount Pinatubo erupted I heard a quote on the news that it put more pollution into the atmosphere than mankind had done up to that point since the beginning of the industrial revolution.<br />So, I just have to wonder what the next man made crisis will be to scare the masses into a global tax and one world government.<br />Epic post PH. I may just have to retire my Global Worming label.kx59https://www.blogger.com/profile/04145047517803465867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938438889241366279.post-47488237836373922492012-04-17T09:36:10.291-07:002012-04-17T09:36:10.291-07:00@quizikle - The "hole" varies.

Well, maybe Al Gore is. <br /><br />I think the problem is (other than unthinking emotionalism) that humans think things must remain the same as they have known them. Rotsa ruck - nothing does.<br /><br />I don't work with climate, weather, or any other related fields. Just have a degree in geology and a love of history.ProudHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305205710265854978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1938438889241366279.post-19305903311100035432012-04-16T15:53:33.426-07:002012-04-16T15:53:33.426-07:00The biggest effect man has on the question of &quo...The biggest effect man has on the question of "climate change" is our ability to measure ever smaller quantities. "It" wasn't a danger if it couldn't be measured. I don't believe the ozone hole was a danger until it was discovered (did it go away? I guess people exhaling CO2 and cows emitting methane became more important)<br /><br />A mere whiff of tobacco is enough to send alarms regarding the health risks of 2nd-hand smoke in parts per billion.<br /><br />One good volcano upsets all the particulate mandates the politicians can come up with.<br /><br />I generally make it a point to not talk about work on-line (losing so many good posts too...) but some of the numbers that get bandied around come about from "scientists" spending too much time plotting pretty color graphs with computer simulations<br /><br />QAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
