This observatory is a terrific facility that will enable us to keep an eye on the chemical balance of the atmosphere and feed this information into global climate models to greatly improve predictions for this region in the future".

These scientists aren't on the cutting edge of their science. They have to find new ways to make the data i the model. /s/

[Quote]Professor Alastair Lewis, Director of Atmospheric Composition at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science and a lead scientist in this study, said: “At the moment this is a good news story — more ozone and methane being destroyed than we previously thought - but the tropical Atlantic cannot be taken for granted as a permanent ‘sink’ for ozone.[Unquote from article]

But ozone breaks down to oxygen. It is not deposited somewhere, as the word “sink” implies. It appears that the tropical Atlantic is not a sink, but the site of a process destroying ozone and methane, two “greenhouse” gases. This is highly significant.

Furthermore, if bromine does the trick, we produce lots of that, and could easily get more. It comes from brine wells in southern Arkansas.

Better yet, just let hurricanes do the job for us.

It all shows that we really do not understand all the complexity of the climate and its many feedback loops. Only Gore can really be sure of what is going on.

Nonsense? Non Science?
It’s hard to tell the

SO, it wasn’t HFC after all. Cap in Trade failed again!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

40 years of climate science down the tubes.

Climate models are still wrong. They predict 100% more ozone than exists.

Ozone isn’t being destroyed by human emissions of chlorofluorocarbons. It turns out it’s a natural process.

CH4 is an important greenhouse gas when it makes up only 0.0002% of the atmosphere???

The fix is in.

Global Cooling didn't work.

Global Warming didn't work.

Climate Change appears to be D.O.A.

Next step: Climate Stagnation!!

The eeeeeeevil BushCheneyKarlRoveHalliburtonBigOilBohemianClubCFRMilitary-IndustrialistBildebergCapitalist Cabal is making the climate stay the same!!

So I see the Person who made this planet build in ways to keep it from burning up (before He says so). Imagine.

This study does highlight how physical science models are subject to ongoing improvement. But apparently it only applies to ESMs and tropospheric ozone, not to CO2 (the primary persistent greenhouse gas), or the GCMs used to estimate climate sensitivity. The 2007 AR4 includes a range of scenarios involving CO2, ozone, methane etc., so the question is whether this will make much difference. Some discussion on it here.
