Quote:Research into this problem is ongoing (as you yourself just pointed out).
Whether its a blown out of proportion natural thing (influenced by man or not) or caused by man entirely is irrelevant to my point, MGW coverage pushed it a side so MGW could take the stage. I'll agree with your general response. Seems funny/freaky/completely wrong that the only response seems to be 'Eh, talk to us again in a decade'.
I think its more a point of "there isn't anythign else we can do" at this stage. We've cut CFC emitions and are continuing to do so. Unless you have some way of repairing the hole then... what do you suggest we do?
In fact, I would wager that if we managed to cut CO2 emitions by 99% over the next decade, that people would stop saying we have to cut CO2 emitions due to global warming. Imagine that!
