This article doesn't address the CFC effect relative to the effect of CO2 emissions fallout landing on the glaciers and polar ice caps, which changes the albedo of the ice, resulting in melting them. More and more ice melts every year, and less re-freezes, raising the sea level, altering the salinity, changing the worldwide currents, resulting in massive change to the ocean biomes. Does that result in less climate change than CFCs eroding the ozone layer over the poles?
- ars 13y ago> of CO2 emissions fallout The what? Did you typo? If you didn't, then the article did not address it because there is no such thing.
- commanda 13y agoOk, sorry, I meant carbon particulate (soot), not CO2.
- ars 13y agoThere's probably less soot now than there was in the past. Wood fires (campfires, stoves, hearths, etc) make a TON of soon. Modern burning techniques are much better. So if it didn't do anything in the past, it's certainly not doing anything now.
