While Al Gore and company are busy STILL trying to connive people in to believing that fossil fuels and the like are the cause of global warming, hardcore scientist are talking about it in a more realistic manner. This snippet is from Sciencemag.com which is used by very prominent scientists to publish their findings.
Unwelcome Dominance
Stratospheric ozone is depleted by many different
chemicals; most prominently, chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) responsible for causing the
Antarctic ozone hole. Nitrous oxide is also an
ozone-depleting substance that has natural
sources in addition to anthropogenic ones. Moreover,
unlike CFCs, its use and emission are not
regulated by the Montreal Protocol, which has
helped to reverse the rate of growth of the ozone
hole. Surprisingly, Ravishankara et al. (p. 123,
published online 27 August; see the Perspective
by Wuebbles) now show that nitrous oxide is the
single greatest ozone-depleting substance that, if
its emissions are not controlled, is expected to
remain the dominant ozone-depleting substance
throughout the 21st century. Reducing nitrous
oxide emissions would thus enhance the rate of
recovery of the ozone hole and reduce the
anthropogenic forcing of climate.
