We've polluted the stratosphere ordsprog
Paul Newman (1925-) |  |
 Even though levels of organic chlorine in the stratosphere are going down, we saw severe ozone depletion in the Arctic this past winter. |
| As the amount of chlorine and bromine will continue to decline over the next decades, but very slowly, one expects the ozone hole to get smaller and smaller. |
| Chemicals pumped into Earth's atmosphere decades ago still are affecting ozone levels today. This problem was a long time in the making, and because of the persistence of these chlorine compounds, there is no short-term fix. |

| The chances are very good that it's not the emissions we know about that are really bothering people, but rather the compounds that result when the emitted chemicals react with ozone. That could be quite significant in urban areas like Atlanta that have high levels of ground-level ozone. |
| I worry that effective corrective measures will not be instituted soon enough. Climate does not necessarily change gradually. The multiple factors that are now destabilizing the global climate system could cause it to jump abruptly out of its current state. At any time, the world could suddenly become much hotter or even much colder. Such a sudden, catastrophic change is the ultimate health risk-one that must be avoided at all costs. |
| Our customers would consume more energy. If prices don't change, and we have a colder than normal winter, this could go up, substantially. |
| We are looking at a number of treatment possibilities: filtration, ultracentrifuge, which is a big centrifuge to spill out the organisms, ozone and chlorine treatment. |

| The dialogue is now shifting gears from climate science to climate action. There's still a lot we need to learn about the science, but the events of the past year have ended much of the lingering debate and controversy. The most important question now is what can individuals, communities, states and nations do to reduce and prepare for climate change. |
| The new president came to town saying he would change the tone and change the climate in Washington, ... I guess we didn't realize it was the actual climate that he wanted to change. |
| The hole in the ozone layer expanded this year, and the quantity of ozone destroyed within that area increased as well. |
