The hotter each year grows,it effects rain forest,sea levels rise,animals start to die off because of unfaverible climate changes,eventualy it will kill off several species that contribute to the curcle of nature.Meaning food for one type of animal will be no more,so they die.It may start with smaller animals that feed bigger animals,and before we know it, the bigger animals will die off.First ,the ice will no longer be there to keep the earth at a cooler state,the more ice melts, the hotter the earth is going to get each year.Reason to beleave that this is happening is that the carbon emissions are tearing ripps,or one big hole in our ozone layer,thus making it hotter.Cars giving off carbons, Plants that produce chemicals for every day products for consumers are a big factor in what is happening,because of the many stacks which are pumping blackness into our fresh air,that rise up and eat away fractions at a time out of our ozone.So there for,pennies do add up.I want you to go and take a look outside,at some of the chemical plants,just watch there stacks.And think about what you see.Some beleave that the sun is getting closer by fractions each year,assuming that a fracter is a few degrees added to the planet each year,causing even more ice to melt. I could go on and on and on. And I am open for ?'s. And I maybe able to descuss them with anyone who would be concerned.

It is untrue that carbon is tearing a hole in our ozone layer, but rather making it thicker. This in turn keeps the heat in and so it gets hotter.

Thanks for all the info about the Antarctic carbon dioxide draw down, interesting new fact.
