Imagine my surprise to read an article this morning that there might be problems if the environment actually recovers. For years, the Envirostatists have made a big hullabaloo about how our activities have destroyed the ozone layer and how that could lead to an end of all life on earth. Now, it seems that in repairing it, we stand to suffer as well. Statism is a no-win scenario for most people, and this is proof positive.
Without the shield, we would burn up. With its recovery, we now run the risk of being choked by smog.
What they will actually do is use this as a reason to reduce our ability to drive our own cars. Obviously, we must curtail ALL human activity because even when we fix one part, it exacerbates another one. Yet, the volcano in Iceland a few months back put out more CO2 into the atmosphere during its eruption than man has in all the years since the industrial revolution began COMBINED. It's about restricting freedom.
The more victories they win, the more they must win, or else it wasn't worth it to begin with. Why don't we try just leaving well enough alone for a change and see what the earth does? Obviously, the earth wasn't concerned about CO2 when the volcano in Iceland erupted. If it were a big problem, the earth would do something about it.
I believe that it is the highest arrogance to believe that we puny humans can affect anything on the planet. In astronomical terms, we are completely and utterly irrelevant. For all we know scientifically, we are the only planet in the universe with intelligent life, and so we are an anomaly, a plague. I love this satire by George Carlin:

When the earth is finished with us, if there is no God, it will do away with us. Since there is a God, he will make sure things get buffered before we go to far. We don't need people to tell us that. in their godless world and on astronomical terms, they quite frankly don't matter, and neither does anything else we do.
