Yay! Skin cancer for all, what happens if the environment goes nuts before a revolution breaks out? Aside from widespread melanoma.

We might finally find out who wins the whole religious debate humanity has been having since forever. Yeah, yeah I'm such an optimist.

A good question to ask is how do we stop this? Banning CFCs clearly wasn't enough so what else do you think we can do before we turn into bacon?

I am skeptical of this. The ozone hole has been shrinking in recent years.

what happens if the environment goes nuts before a revolution breaks out?

Full systemic collapse and revolution.

[L.A.P.]

Full systemic collapse and revolution.

What worries me is what if after revolution, we all just die from ecological disaster anyway?

At least we can deal with those disasters to the full extent of our ability´s instead of making a cost benefit analysis and half assing it like FEMA did with Katrina.

Not that there isn't cause to worry but this is speculation. It is thought that the increase in severe storm activity will increase the intensity of lightening, this posing a threat to the ozone layer. There isn't evidence that this is happening yet.

Having said this, there is much to worry about.There is a strong possibility of a looming food crisis, caused by the US drought and the US gov
t policy of diverting grain into biofuel.
