Conservative and Liberal climate

2004 – Conservative and Liberal climate opinions come to the forefront of media

Studies indicating concern over commercial jet emissions are released
Researchers state that pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions from commercial jets that are directly released into the upper atmosphere will potentially become the largest man made cause of changes in climate. This takes into account both particle disbursement into the troposphere and greenhouse gas emissions from jet fuel exhaust. In a similar tone it is shown that aerosols long considered the primary threat to the Earth’s ozone layer are now acting to cool the Earth through global dimming. Once again scientists warn that as use of aerosol diminishes in future years the greater threat of global warming will be unmasked.
Bush administration shows skepticism towards global warming
President George W. Bush of the United States and his administration steadfastly claim the entire prospect of global warming to be a hoax. China is acknowledged by the International Energy Agency worldwide as the second largest carbon emitter based on their tremendously expanded use of fossil fuels with little or no emissions regulation.







Entertainment media pushes climate change scenarios to extremes
2004 sees the first release of books, movies and documentaries featuring in discussing global warming. Overstatements of massive climate swings are depicted in movies such as The Day after Tomorrow and Michael Crichton’s book “State of Fear”.
