While the issue has been quite contentious, while some Countires are not willing to sign on board to the Kyoto Accord, this current scientific information has me wondering how much effect this topic below has on our views about climate change?

From a scientific standpoint any opinions?

Yes, I agree that it is frustrating.

OOh absolutely. Closing that 150 year window when we did was a giant step towards helping the planet heal some of its protective systems. I am hoping that that scientist from CalTech you had a presentation a year ago or so, on global warming, is also feeling that some effort to stem the global greenhouse gas emissions will begin to bear some positive results. I am just frustrated that things that have been known for 20 or 40 years about human behavior weren’t corrected until it was (or might be) too late.

All true…. but how much longer woudl we have had to wait had we not all pulled together as an international community? See the previous post. Modulo the report the first commenter there pointed to.

Cheers!

So we have to wait sixty years for the earth to begin receiving less UV. I am sure all those amphibians, coral reefs, cancer patients (Australia has young teens with skin cancer) and other species that shall suffer from the onslaught will thank us then.
