Remember when warmist Susan Solomon helped convince the world to take a lot of expensive measures to fix the ozone hole, and we took those meaures, only to find that the ozone hole remained?

Nobel-Winning Climate Scientist in Boise This Week | citydesk

One of the world's eminent climate scientists comes to Boise today to participate in a two-day examination of climate change policy.

Nobel Peace Prize-winning Dr. Susan Solomon's research helped institute a worldwide ban on many of the chemicals that have destroyed our atmospheric ozone. She is scheduled to present a keynote introduction to this evening's panel on climate change and policy at Boise State's Student Union building. And Tuesday evening, Solomon will speak on "A Tale for Our Times: Something for Everyone about Climate Change and the Reasons for Climate Gridlock."

Ironically, Solomon's lecture occurs on the same night as Idaho's GOP Caucuses.

Susan Solomon | Nobel winner looks for societal soul-searching | Citizen | Boise Weekly

A couple of years ago, we were faced with a plain but rather harsh headline: "Global Warming is Irreversible."

It's essentially irreversible on a 1,000-year time scale. Now, you have to be careful. If you talk to a geologist and you say 1,000 years, they'll tell you that it's about the time that it takes the Earth to blink its eye. But on a human time scale, it's a pretty long time.

Very recently, Idaho saw a few Republican presidential candidates come through our area and kick climate change around like a political football. Does some of their misinformation frustrate you?

I think all of us feel a little annoyed and frustrated by it. It's a real shame that our society has gotten to that point. I'm actually an optimist, though. We all know a lot of this stuff is blustering.

You caution that it's really up to society to make the final choice on the information that scientists present.

There's no question that this is the mother of all environmental issues. I don't think science alone is enough on this issue. It's going to require deep, societal soul searching to have a careful and considered discussion on what we ought to do.

What can you tell me about the Nobel Prize experience?

It was a very interesting and uplifting experience. The best part of it was that it was a peace prize, not a science prize. To me, that's a beautiful message--that science isn't just about esoteric things. It was a remarkable choice. In the 21st century, there's going to be more scientific issues that will help us understand how to live on this planet.

You've received so many honors, but I've also heard that a glacier was named after you.

It's my favorite of every honor that has come my way over the years. I was completely bowled over. The various countries that participate in Antarctic research get to make nominations, so I was very honored that the United States nominated me.

Have you traveled to the Solomon Glacier?

I've seen it from a [fossil-fueled] helicopter. I've never set foot on it, and I'm pretty certain that no human being has.

Significant ozone hole remains over Antarctica

[2011] Scientists around the world are looking for evidence that the ozone layer is beginning to heal, but this year's data from Antarctica do not hint at a turnaround.

“We have to think about [carbon dioxide] much more like nuclear waste than, like say, smog or acid rain,” explains one of the world’s top atmospheric scientists, Susan Solomon
