Global warming?

I have been hearing a lot more talk lately about how global warming is bunk. Or that if it is happening then mankind is not to blame, that what is happening is just part of a natural cycle.
Let’s look at it this way instead, no matter how one feels about this topic the actions that would be required to reduce CO2 emissions will have the added benefit of reducing the amount of pollution that is generated which will in turn improve air quality. That will mean we all would be healthier for not having to breathe the junk combusting fossil fuels produces or eating foods contaminated by the same.
Think about it, actually being able to see a blue sky in the middle of a big city.
Just cruised past your blog again. I agree, it would be nice to see blue sky no matter where one stands! And not just from carbon emissions being reduced, but from less water vapor from jets perhaps; from fewer nitrogen-containing compounds landing in soils and water; and from people being outside during daylight hours. Nothing we can do about the grey skies around here… except to hope that they can someday again mean seasonal rains… not alternating droughts and floods.
I think blue sky in cities is a myth. Never seen it. *grumble*
