The problem I see is that we do not understand enough about our atmosphere
and how everything interacts.
This is a number one priority as far as I am concerned. We have to know what
is going on.
If scientists continue to just guess, pretty soon the average person is
going to lose interest and start thinking that it is just a big hooh haah to
get money for research.
Once we know what is happening we can prioritise our efforts to reverse the
damage, no good focusing on one thing only to find that thing is not as much
of a problem as something else.
I remember seeing something on TV a while back that showed how pollution is
actually keeping the planet cool by creating a layer of smog that acts as a
shield. This program used the grounding of all aircraft in the US after 9/11
to give an example of the theory. It showed that due to the lack of
commercial aircraft in the air and a subsequent reduction in jet emmisions,
all of a sudden there was a relatively massive jump in temperatures across
the US.
What I got out of this TV show was that we know very little about what is
going on up there and a lot of the current knowledge is guesswork and
theories.
