That hasn t happened, despite eight good reasons this scam should finally be put to rest. It s B-a-a-ck! Similar scares orchestrated by radical environmentalists ...

Scientists have discovered that concentrations of minor greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide (CO ), are rising. Theoretically, these gases could trap 2 more heat in the atmosphere, leading to a gradual warming of the Earth s atmosphere. And, again theoretically, the consequences of rapid global warming ...
