Here's another interesting tidbit about clean air: Greasy hair makes for clean air.

Greasy hair may not help you to attract the object of your affection, but it might reduce the amount of ozone you breathe in.

Just the kind of story one might expect.
Next you'll be linking to pot smoking helps slow global warming.

LOL!

If so, there are certainly a lot of volunteers at TSG..........................

Hi LAN,

Did you even read the article before you wrote your reply?

I read enough of it, not just the headline.
I'm sure adding layers of mud on you will also absorb ozone.

Dirty ..... it's the new clean.

Global Warming: Is It Really a Crisis?

John McCain, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton all promise massive new regulations that will cost trillions of dollars to combat global warming. McCain says that it will be his first task if he wins the presidency. After consulting with Al Gore, Obama feels the problem is so imminent that it is not even really possible to wait until he becomes president.

Ironically, this political unanimity is occurring as global temperatures have been cooling dramatically over the last decade.

Global temperatures have now largely eliminated most of the one degree Celsius warming that had previously occurred over the last 100 years. Hundreds of climate scientists have warned that there is not significant man-made global warming.

A conference in New York on Monday and Tuesday this week will bring 100 scientists together to warn that the there is no man-made global warming crisis.

Yet, we just keep on piling on more and more regulations without asking hard questions about whether they are justified.

I've posted the graphs on the changes in temps, Lan.
That claim of a 100 year reversal is bogus.

[LANMaster]

It will be interesting to find out the summary results of the New York Conference ongoing as we speak.

Killer Freezes: The Paradox Of Global Warming
Article here.

A destructive spring freeze that chilled the eastern United States almost a year ago illustrates the threat a warming climate poses to plants and crops, according to a paper just published in the journal BioScience. The study was led by a team from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Hydrogen Sulfide May Kill Us, Bring Us Back to Life
Wired article here.

Get your gas masks ready!

Wired: What would life look like as the Earth's oxygen is slowly choked off by hydrogen sulfide and how long would it take?

Ward: This really is a long way off. This is something that's going to take thousands of years. The oceans take a long time to change from oxygenated to a place where there is no oxygen on the bottom. But once it starts, you can't stop it.

I think sea-level rise is a more imminent danger. The thing that we have to do is, we have to save the ice caps, because if the ice caps go, (the hydrogen sulfide scenario) is the inevitable next step. One thousand ppm (of CO2) is all it would take to get rid of all the ice caps on the planet. We'll be at 1,000 in 200 years or less. Which means good-bye ice caps on planet Earth, which means 240 feet of sea level, which means good-bye San Francisco, Seattle, New York and on and on.

But if losing the ice caps makes us uncomfortable [because of rising water], the hydrogen sulfide is going to make us extinct. In 500 years, I can see a world where everyone will be wearing gas masks. Those that [have] them will live; those that don't will die. We humans are here for the long haul, and if we do not stop heating our atmosphere, we will suffer a very nasty fate.

Wired: Are there any areas on the planet where we can see the beginnings of something like this already happening with hydrogen sulfide?

Ward: Right now off the coast of Namibia there is hydrogen sulfide coming out. Fisheries went in and killed off all the anchovies and sardines. Then the plankton comes up, and there are no fish to eat them and they go to the bottom and rot. That rotting produces hydrogen sulfide and it rises to the surface and is causing all kinds of havoc. Where I live [Washington state] we have hydrogen sulfide hot spots coming from the old logging camps. All the wood waste that was buried in the last two or three centuries is now rotting to the point that well-diggers have to [carry] a gas mask because if they puncture one of these hydrogen sulfide bubbles it will kill them.
