![]() | Climategate is certainly making news and I for one am glad to see it. Shouldn't science honestly give time to both sides of an argument? Especially in light of some recent glaring contradictions...is someone trying to save face? |
I am not convinced that global climate change isn't real. On the contrary, I do believe the Earth going through climatic changes, but I am beginning to doubt that we are the cause of it.
As a kid I was told in school that we are causing a big hole in the sky by using our aerosol products and car exhaust. This big hole in our ozone layer was the reason our Earth was warming up. I remember that in order to *stop* the warming we had to fix the hole...Now I read this:

According to this article there is a hole in our ozone layer that is beginning to repair/close. If this hole closes the Earth will warm up.
What does this mean?
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see...period. make up your own mind based on the data available to you. And remember, just because someone is an authority in a particular field doesn't make them right!
UPDATE:
You know, around the time I was born the big scare was that the whole world was heading into an ice age:
Time Magazine 1977

Now, in 2009, it appears as if this is being pushed yet again:
"Earth could plunge into sudden ice age" : http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34242705/ns/technology_and_science-science/
Hey I forget, is Oceania at war with Eurasia or Eastasia?
