If good intentions and good ideas were all it took to save the
deteriorating atmosphere, the planet's fragile layer of air would be as good as
fixed. The two great dangers threatening the blanket of gases that nurtures and
protects life on earth-global warming and the thinning ozone layer--have been
identified. Better yet, scientists and policymakers have come up with effective
though expensive countermeasures. (2)41. __________.
(3) CFCs-first fingered as dangerous in the 1970s by Sherwood Rowland and
Mario Molina, two of this year's Nobel-prizewinning chemists--have been
widely used for refrigeration and other purposes. (4) If
uncontrolled, the CFC assault on the ozone layer could increase the amount of
hazardous solar ultraviolet light that reaches the earth's surface, which would,
among other things, damage crops and bring disasters to environment.
(5) Thanks to a sense of urgency triggered by the 1985 detection of what
has turned out to be an annual "hole" in the especially vulnerable ozone over
Antarctica, the Montreal accords have spurred industry to replace dangerous CFCs
with safer substances. (6)42. __________. (7)
Nonetheless, observes British Antarctic Survey meteorologist Jonathan Shanklin:
"It will be the middle of the next century before things are back to where they
were in the 1970s." (8) Even that timetable could be thrown off
by international smugglers who have been bringing illegal CFCs into industrial
countries to use in repairing or recharging old appliances.
(9)43. __________. (10) Developing countries were given
more time to comply with the Montreal Protocol and were promised that they would
receive $ 250 million from richer nations to pay for the CFC phaseout. At the
moment, though, only 60 % of those funds has been forthcoming. This is a
critical time. (11) It is also a critical time for warding off
potentially catastrophic climate change. Waste gases such as carbon dioxide,
Methane and the same CFCs that wreck the ozone layer all tend to trap sunlight
and warm the earth. The predicted results: and eventual melting of polar ice
caps, rises in sealevels and shifts in climate patterns. (12)44.
__________. (13) The encouraging precedent is the Montreal
Protocol for ozone protection, which showed how quickly nations can act when
they finally recognize a disaster. A related lesson is that if CFCs do
disappear, it will be partly because chemical manufactures discover they can
make a profit by selling safer replacements. (14)45.
__________. (15) If that happens, then all nations, from the
rich to the poor, may end up working to save the atmosphere for the same reason
they've polluted it: pure economic self-interest. [A] Says
Nelson Sabogal of the U. N. Environment Program: "If developed countries don't
come up with the money, the ozone layer will not recuperate."
[B] But that doesn't mean these problems are anywhere close to being
solved. The stratospheric ozone layer, for example, is still getting
thinner, despite the 1987. international agreement known as the Montreal
Protocol, which calls for a phaseout of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other
ozone-depleting chemicals by the year 2006. [C] The same process
may ultimately be what mitigates global warming. After long years of effort,
manufacturers of solar-power cells are at last close to matching the low costs
of more conventional power technologies. And a few big orders from utilities
could drive the price down to competitive levels. [D] Yet the
CFCs already in the air are still doing their dirty work. The Antarctic ozone
hole is more severe this year than ever before, and ozone levels over temperate
regions are dipping as well. If the CFC phaseout proceeds on schedule, the
atmosphere should start repairing itself by the year 2000, say
scientists. [E] Last year alone 20 000 tons of contraband CFCs
entered the U. S.--mostly from India, where the compounds are less
restricted. [F] Until recently, laggard governments could to
scientific uncertainty about whether global warming has started, but that excuse
is wearing thin. A draft report circulating on the Internet has proclaimed for
the first time that warming has indeed begun. [G] The good news
is that this gloomy scenario may galvanize the world's governments into taking
serious action. For example, though it's now more costly to generate electricity
from solar cells than from would otherwise have to be spent in the future
combating the effects of global warming.
