F-science, I have CO monitors all over my house and I can't find any at all.

LMAO

And for the record, I agree.  Always Sunny in Philly is one of the funniest shows on the tele. 

There are two levels of ozone. Good ozone is what CFC deteriorated over time, things are better, but not great. Lower level ozone, smog, is what we hope to diminish over the next couple of decades. It is not just cars and transportation that impacts LLO, it is bakeries, dry cleaners,  paint facilities, livestock, farms, lawn mower, paper manufacturing facilities, fertilizer factories, etc.
O2 and O3 is formed by the break down of compounds containing C, H, N, and O in their evaporative state. The major culprit is Compounds with N and O. UV light breaks them apart to form lower level ozone. That acts as a greenhouse gas, keeping particulate contamination in the air as well as other gasses. This is the brown haze you see flying into cities.
Lower level Ozone is getting better, but by no means, is it anywhere close to being resolved.
For us to blame the use of hydrocarbons as the reason for our environment/air quality issues, is like blaming Rosie O'Donnell's spoon for making her fat.
It starts with you and I. I am not doing much.
ASIP reminds me of the first BB, when we all worked on Brent's canopy.

I always wondered where the professor got all of his borosilicate glass.  Did he just happen to take it all with him on a 3 hour cruise? 

Yup, along with his Yuge library.

He packed bigly for the 3hr tour. 

Hey man - you never know what's going to happen!  One moment you're on a leisurely cruise and then a storm comes and you're stuck in a bad sitcom.

Finding synthetic structures that will allow MOFS to absorb all wavelengths of light may be cost prohibitive, but this type of environmental engineering will be worth every penny. I wonder what they will use as CO2 scrubbers? Cost Prohibitive?

Last time I studied "science", I learned the Earth has massive quantities of CO2 scrubbers... They are called plants. If you want to reduce CO2 emissions, stop breathing. 
 

I would carry a sextant, a big knife and some flint.

Yup. Based on power plant emissions we will need a lot of very big plants.

I hate to argue about something as divisive as climate change on a food forum, so let's talk about science we can all agree with, vaccines definitely cause autism.  Right guys?

todays science may say no, what about tomorrows science

We know RRP would be in it and who he would play!

Science is exact. Except when it comes to cholesterol and eggs and margarine vs butter ... and ... and .... and ...  They have flip-flopped how many times over just these two examples??? It the 70's we were facing an ice age by 2000. The oceans are rising = at a rate of currently ~ 2mm??? yeah, that's going to take a while.  There is no polar bear crisis. The ice at the South Pole is growing at a huge rate. and the oceans are like a glass of water with ice cubes in it. as the ice melts, there is no change in the water line. And finally, when a cell divides, science says it is alive - except when it is a human baby. what unfathomable pinheadary.

Just padding my post count cuz you make it easy.  And what college or post graduate degree do you have so as to lend any legitimacy to your claims?

A cell that has divided does not equal a baby or anything alive other than a bicellular organism.  One up on an amoeba.  Science provides insight via fact.  Very simple.

Because it has begun dividing, is it not alive? it is either dead or alive.
Dead != dividing
dividing = life. 
very simple

It's a progenitor of life.  Adopt this life at two cells.
