The earth has always wobbled. It gets colder at times and warmer at times depending on the wobble. I don't understand how the EPA comes to conclusions regarding chemicals with Global Warming Potential. Earthquakes are a sign that the earth is constantly changing. It doesn't surprise me that Geologists have come to more logical conclusion than Environmental Specialists. Refrigerants effect the Ozone Layer. How do molecules much heavier than air rise to the ozone layer and react with Ozone??

'clean' is a relative term. the EPA does not consider carbon dioxide a pollutant [1]. The strong environmental laws past in the early 70's have had a positive effect[2], decreasing the amount of pollutants classified by the EPA. I couldn't find any of the graphs i remember from my climate change and sustainability course that show from the 60's but if you spend some time looking I'm sure you could find them

"The air is cleaner than 40 years ago"? Is that true?
