Who Has Had a Greater Impact on the Planet: Thomas Midgley or George W. Bush?

[tribdog]

I was reading Bill Bryson's "A Short History on Nearly Everything" today and came across a scientist I had never heard of before, but probably should have. Are you familiar with Thomas Midgley?
This guy came up with a way to stop the "knock" in engines. He added lead to the fuel. Thanks to this brilliant idea we have about 625 times more lead in our system than people did 100 years ago.
Thomas didn't stop there though. Next he improved on refrigerators by inventing chlorofluorocarbons, CFCs.
I wonder if anyone scientist has had a greater impact on the planet.

Nomination Seconded! That Bastard!

At the age of 51 he contracted Polio which left him severely disabled. To solve this problem he devised an elaborate system of strings and pulleys that would lift him from bed. In what must be one of the most ironic deaths in the history of science, Midgley was accidentally entangled in the ropes of this device and died of strangulation at the age of 55.

Hehehe, Someone's already on to him

Move to a different religion. Then you can start a new reign of terror.
