Why A Rotating National Policy Is Bad For Business

What might be the real issue behind the CCD (climate change debate) might actually be emissions from vehicles other than CO2. Still, because of the infrastructure and related costs involved in maintaining an economy, this can be more costly than it should be. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/gasoline-is-becoming-worthless-210636353.html
In time, vehicles would probably switch to a cleaner form of energy because innovation and sustainability would allow the costs to be acceptable. The purpose of catalytic converters was to reduce emissions other than CO2.
And am doubtful most of you guys like science fiction. You know, like the original Star Trek and their clamshell communication devices. Except back in 2000 ours had much more capability than being just a device that allowed for sound transmission and reception.
This gives us a few things to consider. When there was an SSW event (sudden stratospheric warming) over Australia because of all of its brush fires a year or 2 ago, no hole in the ozone layer. And since technology will advance, then how can that help to reduce harmful emissions from transportation combusting fuels?
With power plants, their emissions can be lowered as well. Technological innovation will probably come up with a solution.

Somebody's been nipping at the Kentucky Kool-Aid... CCD, stands for charge coupled device, it's used in cheap digital cameras. Those climate guys will hijack anything. My Explorer does a fine job of providing food for plant life. Needs new spark plugs (and a few other things). Been putting it off for years. Mostly, because it's going to really suck getting at them. No way solar panels and windmills are going to keep up with demand, if everything goes electric. Bet they don't shut down any power plants.

Carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4) are each important to climate forcing and to the levels of stratospheric ozone (see Chapter 2). In terms of the globally averaged ozone column, additional N2O leads to lower ozone levels, whereas additional CO2 and CH4 lead to higher ozone levels. Ozone depletion to date would have been greater if not for the historical increases in CO2 and CH4.
