CO2 and the Biosphere: The Incredible Legacy of the Industrial Revolution by Sherwood B. Idso, October 1995, a monograph with 361 references published by the Department of Soil, Water, and Climate, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN 55108. Access to Energy has described the remarkable work of Sherwood Idso and his colleagues in several past issues. Atmospheric fertilization by carbon dioxide is sharply increasing the world-wide abundance of plants (and the animals that depend upon them). Increasing CO2 in the atmosphere is probably the most beneficial environmental phenomenon in human history.
"Ozone Variations and Accelerated Phaseout of CFCs,'' testimony by Sallie Baliunas before the U. S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Energy and Environment, September 20, 1995 available from the George C. Marshall Institute, 1730 M Street, N.W., Suite 502, Washington, DC 20036-4505
"The Ozone-CFC Debacle: Hasty Action, Shaky Science'' by S. Fred Singer, Technology: Journal of the Franklin Institute332A, pp 61-66 (1995) and testimony by S. Fred Singer before the U. S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Energy and Environment, Sep-tember 20, 1995 available from The Science & Environmental Policy Project, 4084 University Drive, Suite 101, Fairfax, VA 22030-6812.
Drs. Baliunas and Singer summarized the evidence concerning the possible decreased ozone in the atmosphere and concomitant increase in UV light at the earth's surface that is claimed to result from CFCs and other human-caused effects. This phenomenon, if it exists at all, cannot be proved at present because it is evidently much smaller than natural fluctuations in ozone and UV light. The CFC ban is a political action that is not justified by scientific experiments or theory.
"High-Level Radioactive Waste'' by Howard C. Hayden, The Physics Teacher 33, pp 450-454, October 1995. This is a clear, high-school level explanation of the facts about radioactive waste - one of which is that it is an easily solved problem when rationally understood.
