More Evidence Identifies China as The Source of Mysterious Ozone-Destroying Emissions
For years, a mystery puzzled environmental scientists. The world had banned the use of many ozone-depleting compounds in 2010. So why were global emission levels [DOI: 10.1038/s41586-018-0106-2] [DX] still so high?
The picture started to clear up in June. That's when The New York Times published an investigation into the issue. China, the paper claimed, was to blame for these mystery emissions. Now it turns out the paper was probably right to point a finger.
In a paper [open, DOI: 10.1029/2018GL079500] [DX] published recently in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, an international team of researchers confirms that eastern China is the source of at least half of the 40,000 tonnes of carbon tetrachloride emissions currently entering the atmosphere each year. They figured this out using a combination of ground-based and airborne atmospheric concentration data from near the Korean peninsula.

The Christian Science Monitor is an excellent newspaper for objective news. The Christian Science stuff is restricted to one regular article which is clearly labeled as such.

Yes, idiots who read the CSM think it's an excellent newspaper for objective news. The Christian religion is an excellent guideline for your saving your soul. "How to rape little boys" is an excellent newspaper. Forget the title - they only have one article on what lube to use on the pink asshole of the little one - the rest is objective science on how CFCs cause global warming.
Now the rest of us who read and study actual science - the science with "math and shit" - do not get our science from the CSM. This is why we know that most pollution does not cause global warming and comprehend the basic concept of a particle in the atmosphere blocking sunlight from reaching the earth causing a reduction in temperature. The most famous of such studies was as noted when all the planes were grounded on 9/11, and there was a clear finding that pollution from airplanes reduces global warming. Now back to raping little boys - do you have any sons and where do they practice baseball (asking for a friend)?
