Default Interesting article on Nitrous Oxide

It appears that scientists are claiming that nitrous oxide is the biggest threat to the ozone layer.

"A study published in the Aug. 28 Science found that N2O - a by-product of agricultural fertilizer and a number of other industrial processes - is now the biggest ozone-depleting gas in the air, and could present a real threat to the ozone layer in coming decades."

The article then goes on to claim: ""Pretty soon human-caused N2O emissions will be greater than all other ozone-depleting substances combined," says John Daniel, an atmospheric scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Well I could see some of the lesser intelligent tree huggers making a big deal about it. Fortunately the combustion process breaks it down. However all you guys that like to purge alot are killing the environment. Maybe we will need a eco-friendly purge kit

He looked better than mcnabb so I guess I can forgive his minor indiscretions.

LOL I joke. We all bring our dogs to work and in no way shape or form do I agree with what he did. However, I watched the news last night and some lady said that since he was a good football player she thought she could forgive him. LOL WTF?!?! And these are the same people that take these ideals to the voting booth...

Sorry off topic.

I agree, my only concern is that there will be an excise tax imposed on it along with some new regulations on filling the bottles causing the price to dramatically increase. While I'm sure this all would be years away, its always good just to stay on top of things like this.

LOL! Funny thing is, the hippies would probably rather directly inhale the nitrous out of a balloon! At least we could blame them for releasing a ton at all the Dead and Phish concerts! Can't put this one on us!

yeah yeah yeah thatll change next week ive yet to hear anything smart come from a scientist or tree hugger yet

tree huggers bitch because of methane in the air and say its our cars but yet its been proven a thousand times that farm animals emit 98 percent of the methane found in our atmosphere but still they point their fingers at cars. damn those cars and their ppm measuring scale lol

and where do i get a job being a scientist? i could come up with all kinds of useless info about the most obvious things on earth, (what are we going to do today brain? the same thing we do every day pinky try to make ourselves sound smart) the only better job where you can suck that much is being a meteorologist
