Carbon Dioxide Proliferation: Will the Icecaps Melt? Special Session Portland, Oregon July 28, 1981

Today's session deals with another area of world-wide interest - carbon dioxide or CO2. Yet those knowledgeable with our atmosphere are quite concerned that the huge quantities of CO2 being emitted to the air are causing subtle changes that may evntually bring drastic changes in the temperature of the atmosphere and the Earth. There is concern that this seemingly harmless gas can accumulate to a degree that it will form a blanket that results in a "Greenhouse Effect" so that the earth's temperature will increase materially.
