Thanks for going over the other info. I will have to review it at a later time. On the CFC-Ozone issue, I have a followup comment. I think we activists may not be emphasizing this issue enough. Sometimes the system works sort of the way it's supposed-to. It is often said (pointed out) that negative news and such are often fodder for coverage and conversation, but it is sometimes not deemed as newsworthy or conversation-worthy when something works out the way it's supposed to (non-negative news). Maybe this is a case of that sort of situation? If so, we activists might want to make a point of discussing or covering the ongoing apparent-partial-success-story of CFC-prohibition. It would have been newsworthy, no doubt, if thousands or millions or billions of people started coming down with Skin Cancer at unprecedented rates. But that isn't happening... at least "probably" not as much as it would have happened had we not banned CFCs. We acted to try to prevent a disaster by modifying our collective global behaviour, and we, as a team effort covering many decades and country borders and much individual sacrifice of time and effort, seem to have accomplished something. I think it's worth pointing out, discussing, taking lessons from this, valuing it, taking pride in it. Now, I think we can use that to change the tone and approach of some of these global warming discussions. MM ------------------------ Yahoo!
