A University of Waterloo professor says it's CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons
used in aerosol cans and refrigerators and coolers) that is driving global
warming, not carbon dioxide.
Prof. Qing-Bin Lu further says that success in curbing CFC
emissions has turned the tide and the global climate has been cooling for the
past decade.
He says cooling could persist for the next 50 to 70 years.
He is a professor of physics and astronomy.
His findings and commentary are published in the Journal of
Modern Physics B and became public this week.
In 2009 he published another paper pointing to CFCs as the
main man-made cause of global warming.
His findings have huge implications for farmers because they
are being blamed for contributing more carbon dioxide to the environment that
vehicles, all because of the belches and farts of cattle.
