This extract of an article in a Belgium magazine I translated for you.
It becomes more and more difficult to see clear what the future will bring us.
The very strict rules in The Netherlands – the so called STEK rules- will be .
It are just these rules which made The Netherlands the country with the least leaking installations and perhaps in the whole world.
Even the German VDKF was jealous on these figures.
In France, there is a lot of commotion around the “ Climat 2004 Plan” made by the Minister of Environment Serge Lepeltier. There they say simple that air-conditioning is the biggest contributor to the global warming because the…. consume gasses. So they say that airco’s shouldn’t be installed anymore. But the systems using butane, propane, NH3, or N2 may be used because these gasses are natural en so they’re safe!(?)
But, there’s hope, Russia signed the Kyoto agreement and they can sell fresh air, so we can continue.
4 x 4 cars will be banned in some major cities in The Netherlands.
Begin November, there was another eruption of the Grimsvot volcano in the east of Iceland. In the few days it erupted, the volcano contributed more to the global warming than the total global activity of all humans on earth.
But a volcano listens only to the laws of the nature and hasn’t signed the Kyoto protocol.
This all is going a little bit as the whole in the ozone-layer. Nowadays, they don’t publish that much anymore and it seems that a 11 ears cycle of the sun was t he cause of this phenomena.
The reduction of the use of the cooling gasses can’t have that much effect yet: it last – according to the scientists – approximately 30 years before these gasses reaches the ozone-layer, so it will last also 30 years before the present reduction will have effect.
