I think a lot more needs to go into research on global warming. I'm not one of those people who say "It won't happen in my lifetime, so I don't give a crap. Let our great grandkids deal w/ it."
Here's another situation for ya. You ever been to Los Angeles and seen the smog?...oh wait, they call it "fog" or "mist" that rolls in from the coast...:p Better yet, has anyone been to Mexico City and seen the smog there? Holy crap do those cities have nasty skies.
Should I metion the ozone, or would I be opening a can of worms... |
That goes back to my point about the massive differences in urban vs rural areas. There is no doubt that LA has a huge problem with smog primarily due to its location inside a valley and the western winds that prevent the smog from dispursing out to sea (I am not too familiar with Mexico, sorry). However, "smog" is more than just CO2. The majority of the smog you can actually see is made up of various particles from the burning of fuels and are fairly harmless to our environment. These particles also typically come out of the atmosphere when it rains.
Anyway, "They say the fu***** smog is the fu****** reason you have such beautiful fu***** sunsets" -- For those familiar with the movie Get Shorty. I love that movie.
