>. . .there is no reasonable argument against human causes of the ozone hole depletion.

A determined industry representative could find dozens of 'studies' showing that CFC's cannot possibly reach the ozone layer, that if they did they wouldn't cause any damage, and even if they did cause damage, it wouldn't affect anyone. People with a political/financial stake in that industry might easily decide such research is valid. Never underestimate the power of belief - especially when someone's job or fortune depends on it.

Most scientists agree that it will.

Here is that bullshit blanket statment again.

Right, it SHOULD say most UNBIASED and COMPETENT scientists agree... We'll exlude those in the pay of the oil companies and big tobacco.

So we have had a hole in ozone layer before?



There is a big difference between the ozone hole and global warming in that there is no reasonable argument against human causes of the ozone hole depletion. While natural processes are utilized for ozone opening and healing, it's the presence of haloalkanes that are the catalyst.



But it was the ozone hole that put the lie to the claim that humans cannot change the dynamics of the atmosphere. Very clearly humans can. And the quantity of CFCs was tiny compared to the quantities of CO2.

This is true on both sides, bill. And with the environment, far more fortunes are being made than lost.

I guess they are only unbiased if they agree with you huh......



No, they are unbiased if not in the pay of the big energy industries. Maybe you recall that scientists in the pay of big tobacco companies produced study after study showing no ill effects of smoking.

In 1993 Philip Morris set up a “grass roots coalition” to “cast doubt on studies showing that second-hand tobacco smoke is dangerous for health.” In order not to raise suspicion that the company was involved, Philip Morris decided to “‘link the tobacco issue with other more politically correct products’ and campaign on issues like global warming.” (source - internal company memo).

The result was the Advancement of Sound Science (sic) Coalition , which was “one of the first organizations to throw a smokescreen over global warming.”

Better check your facts. There is reasearch that says we have had hotter periods in our past. There are still many current highs that are yet to be beaten.

Also consider the fact that Mars is in a current heating cycle The suns activities are said to be doing that. Would we not see the same effect here?



No, rush... Mars warming is due to our greenhouse gases, too... as well as the HORRENDOUS hurricane season that all the scientists said would happen, too.

We all know that if you agree with the org or company there must be no bias then right?:S

Meanwhile, the two largest, long term studies on secondhand smoke have shown the negative effects of SHS to be statistically insignificant.

It was interesting to watch the anti-smoking partisans attack those two studies.

I went to that link, but could find where they mentioned either of those studies. They do a good job of ignoring the elephant in the room.

I'm still waiting the hear about a single death, where the official cause of death was "secondhand smoke".

With the 10s of thousands of Americans who supposed die from this every year, I'm still waiting to read about a single death where this was the cause. Just one person.

All things considered, I'd believe the ALA position over your opinion on this topic.:)

I'm waiting to hear about a single death from the WTC where the official cause was "terrorism." Check out the death certificates - death due to impact, to crushing, to extensive burns. Terrorism isn't mentioned AT ALL! And all you silly people are claiming that terrorism is a threat. Geez.

An analogy is like a shuttlecock and a dart. each flies, some just have more 'throw'

therefore, swoopers should get out first, right after the DZO

after counting the fleas on Kallend's dog.

Don't think there are too many death certificates that have smoking as the offcial cause of death either.

Just like there aren't too many death certificates with "fell of a bridge" or "car accident".

Generally the death certificates do not list what action lead to the death.

Your whole argument is that there is no "secondhand smoke" listed as a cause of death on any death certificates. If that's the best you can do, then terrorism, airplane crashes and motor vehicle accidents don't kill anyone, either.

In reality, of course, such things can kill you, and everyone knows that. I have SIA as a result of secondhand smoke I breathed when I was a kid - but I got out of the house (fortunately) before it progressed to emphysema, COPD or heart disease.

Okay. How about some producing examples where the unofficial cause of death was secondhand smoke. Every year, there are hundreds of thousands of deaths that can be directly, easily linked to smoking cigarettes. Conversely, I've yet to see a study on ETS that produces actual deaths directly linked to to secondhand smoke. They all use statistical probabilities, but none (that I've seen) contain actual cases.

Why?
