[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 78384, member: 1912"] here is a great link that debunks much of what the radical environmentalist have been screaming about including global warming: [URL="http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=718860"]http://www.economist.com/science/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=718860[/URL] One section of this I found particularly compelling: Fourth, [B]pollution [/B]is also exaggerated. Many analyses show that air pollution diminishes when a society becomes rich enough to be able to afford to be concerned about the environment. For London, the city for which the best data are available, air pollution peaked around 1890 (see chart 2). Today, the air is cleaner than it has been since 1585. There is good reason to believe that this general picture holds true for all developed countries. And, although air pollution is increasing in many developing countries, they are merely replicating the development of the industrialised countries. When they grow sufficiently rich they, too, will start to reduce their air pollution. [IMG]http://www.economist.com/images/20010804/CST318.gif[/IMG] All this contradicts the litany. Yet opinion polls suggest that many people, in the rich world, at least, nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining. [/QUOTE]
