The cooling effect of sulphur haze is no more regional than the warming
effects of other gases.  How could it be regional?  The source of the
sulphur is the same as that of CO2 and other gases.

Not true.  "greenhouse" gases hold the heat in at night, sulphur haze
prevents as much heat retention during the day.  Neither is a day-shift
only or night-shift only effect.

Hey, those "big business" types live on this earth, too; their children
will survive them.  Let' hope our economy survives the antics of the
"anti-?" crowd who are attempting to usurp the ecological concerns that we
all have.

Finger-pointing in order to place blame (also called cynical politics),

Ah, yes, the enviro-loons think they are going to save the world.  Sort of

Oh, yes, tell us what we should really be doing, O "driven and focussed"
individuals.  But, when you talk of insanity, check out your own back
yard, before you start telling me how to treat mine...
