Climate Change is as real as your blood travelling in viens and arteries right now. It is as real as your brain is active while your pupils are scanning these sentences right now. However, why and how did it happen?

CFC's and deforestation coupled with exponential human growth are the major culprits. We CFC's in various products such as refrigerants, aerosols and solvents. It is made up flourine, carbon and chlorine. Flourine is okay as far as the danger goes but chlorine and carbon hae adverse effects. Carbon adds to greenhouse effect that leads to global warming. And chlorine is bad for the ozone sheild. One chlorine molecule can eat 1000 ozone mols thus thinning the protective layer and as a result we have a big ozone hole over the Antartics.

Tropical rainforests are vanishing rapidly. Studies report that forests about the size of Florida are lost every day. What are the consequences? Tropics are considered lungs of earth. They purify air. Plus, the carbon stored in the trees are released into the env. adding more to the greenhous effect. Not to mention, we get pollution from the logging activity and wildlife becomes endangered.

Exponential human growth-India, China, Bangladesh, Most African countries (Nigeria having the highest birth rate, 7%) amd other poor countries including Nepal (2.19%- ~ 30 miilion in 147,000 sq km-that's too much). Every additional human is burden to the env. and with the current rate of gowth, it is possible that by 2025, earth will reach its carrying capacity. And the worse thing is, developed countries are the principle drivers of climate change and US did not even sign the Kyoto Protocol-ironical. However, they are buying carbon permits.
