As I have said, I a in my third year of an environmental Sciance degree, and I have this to say: environmental "disaster" claims are neither all true nor all false. Most have some truth. Some things that never get entioned on the news are very serious indeed, but too complex for sound bites.
the Ozone hole increases global warming. I could explain if I had my lecture notes here but I don't.. I'll try and back statement up shortly, but suffice to say the high altitude atospheric physics are very complicated.
Also, we are currently in an inter-glacial period. The Ice-age could return at any time. Is this a good reason to warm the planet up (and the MOST recent evidence says we are)? No. Doing that will create even more unstability in the climate cycle and we could end up with an even worse ice age, or with rising sea levels. End of the world no, but the decision is down to personal morals, and those who don't see the natural world as worth saving have no right to exert that over those who do. The wisest, safest, and most logical course of action is to tread carefully. Only selfish existentialist philistines would burn everything now and let their descendends sort it out.
Excuse me, I don't rant too often, really!
