80+ years ago when I was growing up in UK, the air quality was dire. Smog, smoke from coal fires, lead from car exhausts, it was a killer.
Now the air has never been cleaner, but the 'Greens' claim it is still our fault and conditions are getting worse! How?
That's what I find hard to even start to believe.
An article from today's BBC UK service.
The BBC are Climate change zealots.
What is climate change? A really simple guide - BBC News |
There is MUCH more to man-made Global Warming observations than simply AIR QUALITY improvement in the UK and the US. For one BIG FACTOR, there are double or triple the world population from 80 years ago. That BIG of a population change IS CONSIDERED BY most CLIMATE Scientists to have INCREASED the CO2 production which has produced the RAPID warming in recent years. The UK and the US simply OUTSOURCED their pollution and CO2 production in the last 80 years of our lifetimes to China and other 3rd world countries. The pollution drifts upward where we don't see it often, but it causes the RAPID WARMING of the planet. Also, Global Warming is considered a threat to US and 1st world industrial Corporations that have LOBBYISTS like for the OIL industry whose job it is to LIE to the American People. This started about 1980 and involves BIG money.
Today the Global Temperatures have increased more in the last eight years than in any similar period since 1880. Simply, the Industrial lobbyists have more money to spend on advertisement propaganda about Global Warming than Scientists have to spend on PR FOR Global Warming.
Another BIG factor is the cutting down of OLD GROWTH forest In the Amazon Rain Forest and other old-growth areas, which is needed to absorb the EXTRA CO2 and other pollutants produced by 1st world industry and IC auto engines. Those are some FACTORS that have change in the past 80 years.
