"...times worse for the depletion of Ozone as is CO2." -753
You mean global warming, not "depletion of the Ozone," don't you?
Correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I don't think CO2 or methane have anything to do with the ozone hole.
We do seem to be on the verge of several "tippng points," like the "tundras" and also oceanic clathrates. I wish climate forcers were better understood and quantified.
What we need is a big fleet of space umbrellas, so we could "adjust the thermostat."

P.S. -from a New Scientits article: "Although less of it is emitted into the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, it is a more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide: one tonne of methane has the same warming effect as 21 tonnes of CO2."
Why are we in this handbasket; and where are we going so fast. ~S
