Did you know that the main attributing factor to global warming is....?

Question

Air conditioner, the c2c's break down the ozone layer, each c2c has a life of 2 years approx and the entire life of the c2c, from the time the it is released into the atomosphere it breaks down the ozone layer. The ozone layer protects us from the sun, that is why the sun is so much hotter and causing wildfires and hurricanes, as well as the flooding due to rain and the melting of the glaciers, water level is rising and there will be alot less land one day in the future. Does anyone dispute this? Who out there is willing to let go of air conditioners to allow our earth and mainnly our precious ozone layer time to heal itself?

Answer 1

You need to do some more research.  Global warming and the break down of the ozone layer are not related.  You need to go read so atmospheric journal articles.

Answer 2

This is just not true.

The main factor is CO2 from cars and electric power plants.  Some good introductory websites:

http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/sci...

The hole in the ozone layer has only a minor effect on global warming.  And, for years, the substances in air conditioners have been designed to not destroy the ozone later.

There's no need for people to stop using air conditioners.

Answer 3

I disagree with you.

In Idaho right now and a couple of weeks ago it snowed....it's weird to have that in June but if it's called global warming, why is it cooling.

Also, air conditioners don't cause rain. It's how much water is evaporated into the clouds, not the sun.

Actually, water is rising due to broken pipes and and facuts. The week, at least on the East Coast, many pipes have broken which has caused all this flooding, so I mean glaciers really don't have a play in flooding.....I mean they could but not a lot.

I do believe that we should conserve our energy on our air conditioners and I understand what you're trying to say....it's just that air conditioners aren't the problem. Look back, this has been going on for years and just now Al Gore wants to be famous and make it more dramatic than it really seems!

Answer 4

Global warming is caused not only be greenhouse gases, but by orbital forcing, changes in solar luminosity, and volcanoes.  Orbital forcing is the effect on the climate as the Earth rotates about the sun, because as it rotates, the Earth slowly tilts, almost like a top you'd spin on a table, it slowly tilts as it orbits the sun, the Earth "wobbles" once every 28,000 years or so, and this is what is believed to cause ice ages.  However, this orbital forcing can effect how much sunlight reaches the Earth by up to 25% daily.  Solar luminosity is the amount of power in sunlight the sun releases, and this fluctuates in our Sun which causes small changes in climate.  Volcanoes release carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere as well as hydrogen sulfide, chloride and fluoride.  Sulfur dioxide condenses into the atmosphere into sulfate aerosols which increases the Earth's albedo ( reflection of the Suns radiation back into space.)  

These factors are also leading contributors to global warming, not just human emissions.  In 2000, a study actually showed where all our emissions come from.  The most comes from power stations, which cause 21.3% of emissions, followed by industrial processes(16.8%), transportation fuels(14%), agricultural biproducts(12.5%), fossil fuel retrieval and distribution(11.3%), commercial and residential sources(10.3%), land use and biomass burning(10%), then waste disposal with 3.4%.

Answer 5

... the Sun. The entire solar system is heating up and there's no air conditioners on Mars to blame.

Answer 6

You are partually true although you do not relize it.  Niether will most of the people on here.  We have modified our refridgerants to account of this, from R22, to R141a (not for sure they change it all the time and for different reasons).  The old stuff from a thermo standpoint was some good stuff.  Changing over to prevent the c2C has caused a 10-20% efficiency drop.  Over all the A/C units this is alot.

Answer 7

The ozone layer is so high that CFC will never get there. The ozone layer is formed where the solar winds collide with the earth's magnetic fields. Only some of the lighter gases can get that high. The hole in the layer is due to the focus of the magnetic fields at the poles.

Answer 8

it's simple do aforestation. plant trees .

it's said

"if u cut 1 tree than plant 10 trees"

Answer 9

Most c2c's have been illeagal in the us for more than 10 years.  The ones that are left will not be produced by 2010.

Answer 10

Don't know where you're getting your information from. Global Warming does not exist.

The concept of Global Warming is only a scare tactic used by the liberal left and the environmentalist to promote their policies and agendas.

Al Gore is nothing more than a crazed lunatic.

Answer 11

A much bigger source of greenhouse gas is cattle, should we also ban the keeping of cattle?

Answer 12

You are very smart with that question and I will give you more to support what you are saying.

My professional background is designing and engineering everything on the surface of the planet. I have another background in providing electrical energy to everything on the surface of the planet. I design and create emissions.

Buildings are designed and insulated for the temperatures they will be subjected to. The amount of emissions and energy use are dependent on buildings functioning within those temperatures. Bad part is the temperature calculations were done in a calculator because academia can't see temperature. It is amazing to think all of it is signed off as compliant and insured.

Thermografix Consulting Corporation did 20 years of the most advanced temperature imaging to validate building energy use and the results were alarming. The information isn't contradictory, it is the evolution of temperature measurement. Solar radiation and the same UV that burns our skin is doing the same to building development.

Solar interaction with building exterior finishes is causing the building to generate extreme heat the building isn't designed or insulated for. We are reacting to the symptoms with air conditioning use which requires 1000s of watts per hour of electricity generation. California is being knocked off the electrical grid treating a symptoms.

Did you know that air conditioning is really refrigeration? It is the same as leaving your fridge door open. Using air conditioning promotes acid rain, mercury emissions and massive GHG emissions treating a symptom. There will be more ozone depletion, more UV, more refrigeration used to treat the symptom and environmental h**l is coming for what we are doing. We aren't addressing the generated heat that is changing weather.

The heat is coming through your walls because your building isn't designed for the heat generated. In some cases the heat generated was close to boiling temperature.

The end result of everything we do on the planet comes through our bodies and the eco system that allows us to live. We have 100% toxicity in our newborns before they take their first breath and we are still arguing the science. Go to the polluted newborn study at the following link. Scroll down to the picture of the fetus and click on the study. http://www.thermoguy.com

Go to this link and follow the images. Plant a tree, provide shade. We scrape the earth of everthing living to build without understanding we are scorching the planet with solar exposure. Don't paint dark colors or you will affect your building and the health of the occupants. http://www.thermoguy.com/globalwarming-h...
