Waterloo's Science Isn't Settled department
Fresh from the “Science is Settled Department.”
Cosmic rays and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), both already implicated in depleting the Earth’s ozone layer, are also responsible for changes in the global climate, a University of Waterloo scientist reports in a new peer-reviewed paper.
In his paper, Qing-Bin Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy, shows how CFCs – compounds once widely used as refrigerants – and cosmic rays – energy particles originating in outer space – are mostly to blame for climate change, rather than carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. His paper, derived from observations of satellite, ground-based and balloon measurements as well as an innovative use of an established mechanism, was published online in the prestigious journal Physics Reports.
“My findings do not agree with the climate models that conventionally thought that greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, are the major culprits for the global warming seen in the late 20th century,” Lu said. “Instead, the observed data show that CFCs conspiring with cosmic rays most likely caused both the Antarctic ozone hole and global warming. These findings are totally unexpected and striking, as I was focused on studying the mechanism for the formation of the ozone hole, rather than global warming.”
He wasn’t even looking for something on global warming! It must be so frustrating to the alarmists when researchers actually carry out unbiased research and come up with interesting, challenging results, instead of just fudging data, destroying emails and hiding inconvenient facts in order to fit a pre-conceived political agenda.

While it is all great and wonderful, they do not prove that it is CFCs that cause the problem. O3 is self destructive, it releases energy when 2 x 03 collide and creates energy and 3 x O2. The chemical reaction that helps break down O3 is Chlorine, if I remember correctly, it is one of the most common gases dissolved in H2O. There is no need for ChloroFluoroCarbons to break down in the atmosphere to get the chlorine into the upper atmosphere, as there is plenty of chlorine to begin with.
He may not have been looking for something on global warming, but when he found a correlation, he did not wait 10 seconds before blaming mankind for it.
