YET ANOTHER GASP You already know about coal, gas and jet exhaust, their green house effect and global warming. Equally alarming the sunburn effect: after refrigerator frost those chilly chemical gasses rise for catalytic destruction of our ozone protection for people, trees and grasses from ultraviolet radiation! Are the forests burning (yes) food crops shriveling (not yet) skin cancer spreading (yes) sea life declining (yes) the oceans turning into warm bowls of soup?

Not me, not you, nor any active group, only the natural curse of our rampant expansion, the death of planet Earth.
