Curious about Climate Change?

Welcome to a new webpage on global climate change, designed to provoke interest and discussion by providing a thoughtful and informative presentation of aspects and apparent contradictions of this topic to uncover what we understand.

The motivation behind this site is to establish for greenhouse gases (GHGs), the components crucial to the success of international agreements to reduce tropospheric ozone-depleting chloroflurocarbons (CFCs).

Countries were able to gradually eliminate CFC use under terms of the Montreal Protocol because there was:

1. Compelling scientific evidence linking cause and effects

2. Potential threat to human health

3. Technically feasible solutions.

How will the story end for climate change?
