Global warming caused by CFCs, not carbon dioxide, study says

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are the key driver in global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide emissions, according to new research from the University of Waterloo in Canada that was published in the International Journal of Modern Physics B. "Conventional thinking says that the emission of human-made non-CFC gases such as carbon dioxide has mainly contributed to global warming. But we have observed data going back to the Industrial Revolution that convincingly shows that conventional understanding is wrong," said Qing-Bin Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy, biology and chemistry at the Ontario college. "In fact, the data shows that CFCs conspiring with cosmic rays caused both the polar ozone hole and global warming."

The university said the findings are based on in-depth statistical analyses of observed data from 1850 up to the present time, Professor Lu's cosmic-ray-driven electron-reaction (CRE) theory of ozone depletion and his previous research into Antarctic ozone depletion and global surface temperatures.

"Most conventional theories expect that global temperatures will continue to increase as CO2 levels continue to rise, as they have done since 1850," Professor Lu said. "What's striking is that since 2002, global temperatures have actually declined — matching a decline in CFCs in the atmosphere. My calculations of CFC greenhouse effect show that there was global warming by about 0.6 degrees C from 1950 to 2002, but the earth has actually cooled since 2002. The cooling trend is set to continue for the next 50-70 years as the amount of CFCs in the atmosphere continues to decline."

You can't believe research that comes out of a socialist country like Canada. We're not affecting the climate. These commies just want to put obstacles in the path of bidniz.

I thought cow farts were to blame?

I switched from hairspray to gel in the 90's. That's my contribution.

(BTW, this physicist made the same claim a few years ago and it was debunked then. Re-tread denial)

Since its proven carbon dioxide isnt causing global warming they have to switch to something else like CFCs to keep everyone scared and orderly in the flock of sheep that follow these idiots.

In a few years when CFCs are proven to not be the cause, they will blame it on states that passed gay marriage laws and then on Iowa.


Its a scam and half the idiots schooled in the liberal controlled public school system (houndawg) eat it hook line and LEAD sinker.

I use all natural clay.

Obviously this is the same correlation=causation fallacy the CO2 alarmists use, but it does demonstrate that unlike what some people say that there are ample other ways to explain the warming trend. By the way, it's been fairly recently that scientists have admitted that the massive loss of phytoplankton (i.e. CO2 absorbing, photosynthetic plankton) biomass can't be satisfactorily explained with rising temperatures.

I switched from underarm spray to gel too.

Be careful. That may fade the color in the underarm areas of your shirts.

2011 FDA bans generic albuterol rescue inhalers for asthmatics 2ndary to CFC propellant in inhalers (we're talking life saving medication) because of potential impact on ozone layer from these inhalers They are replaced by 3 expensive branded only albuterol inhalers with different delivery systems.

I gave up aerosols in the 90's as well. I have driven cars that use much less gasoline over the last 20 years. My consumption of natural gas and electricity at is down because of better insulation, I heat to lower temperatures and cool to higher temperatures and have more energy effecient appliances over the last 20 years.

It doesn't seem to have had an effect. I'm going with the hot air from liberal media and chat board posters, cow farts and loss of phytoplankton as the most likely causes of global warming.
