A Nobel prize for quantum physics level work (semiconductors) is quantum levels above the pseudo science of any kind of climate research.
And, giving the ozone-O-crats any kind of prize associated with science further cheapens the Nobel name....a name which is right down there with Yugo right now.
Good on Ivar for calling a clown (or two clowns) a clown. We should indeed be studying climate science...but it would be nice if we had real scientists doing the studying.
I didn’t even notice that the Global Warming Pharisees had brought in some of the “Ozone Depletion” Sadducees. Anyone with basic knowledge of chemistry and astronomy knows ozone depletion is B/S. What is ozone? It is O3, an inherently unstable ionization of Oxygen. What causes it to exist? The absorption of energy by Oxygen atoms, causing them to form the ionized Ozone particle. Left alone, the ozone will naturally break down into the “normal” O2 molecule. How is Ozone created in the upper atmosphere? Through bombardment of Oxygen from solar radiation. Where and when do the ozone “holes” appear? At the earth’s poles, during each polar winter. What is happening then? Well, due to the earth’s axis, that is when those polar regions are pointed away from the sun, and not receiving solar radiation which causes the creation and replenishment of ozone.
A perfectly natural phenomenon. And one that has been happening for a billion years, or a least since Earth had a significant amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.
PS: Where were the “Radon Gas” guys?
