Yet here we are confronted with what many said could be a looming disaster and at least once a month it is argued on this site if it is real or if there is anything that can be don't. I myself always side on prevention, especially when it comes to my grandson's future. There are things we can do here, and the global community can add financial pressure on the countries that do not meet a specified standard. Now personally I could state this has no effect on me directly since I do not go out in the noon day sun but come the end of this year, I'm going to have to find a new company for home insurance, since Farmers has decided Fl. is no longer a good bet.

I totally agree with your comment. It hasn't been that long ago when we discovered the depletion in the ozone layer was caused by chlorofluorocarbons, and by eliminating these man-made substances (I believe the coolant in air conditioners being one of the more problematic causes) the ozone layer has mostly repaired itself, thus reducing the number of victims from skin cancer. We can poo poo the weather being caused by mankind all we want, but I'll have to agree with the weather experts that we are in the midst of global warming and the cause is us.
