Remember the big scare of the 1980s, when we were told that between all the fluorocarbons in products like hairspray and deodorant, a big hole was developing in the Ozone layer and the entire population of the world was about get cancer at the very same time? Good News! After taking fluorocarbons out of our products the holes in the Ozone layer over the Artic and Antarctic are closing. But have no fear the Ozone environmentalists haven't lost their life's mission, they can just become global warming moonbats. A new study claims that by closing the Ozone hole we are increasing global warming.

Everything humans do destroys the environment. We should all just lay down and die, but our rotting corpses would give off greenhouse gases.
Here’s how stupid this theory is.
Global warming is the belief that greenhouse gases are trapping the earth’s heat and causing it to escape to space at a slower rate.
This idiotic theory is saying that cloud cover caused by the ozone hole blocks heat from REACHING the earth.
hello?! Does anyone see the problem with that reasoning?
I am not sure what is so moonbatty about that. I have said for years the answer to too much CO2 in the atmosphere is to start using CFC's again to open up the Ozone holes.
Ya.... So what?... They are just out earning a living from government grants. Would you begrudge them?
Thank God I saved those ten cases of Aquanet for just such an emergency.
Everyone get out their Ratt and Cinderella albums!
I do not keep up with the ozone hole, as I am not interested.
IIRC, there was recently some blurb that the Ozone hole is still alive and well, as it probably has been since the beginning.
It grows and shrinks just as it always has.
If anyone knows better, feel free to educate me.
Bring on the Freon!
Look at it this way, they managed to convince people your AC was destroying the upper atmosphere ozone ...
Another delicious irony. As a result of the freakout in the seventies about chloroflourocarbons destroying the ozone layer, envirowackos forced, at enormous expense, substitution of hydroflourocarbons as a refrigerant. It now turns out that hydroflourocarbons, which are leaking out of refrigerators and air conditioners all over the globe, are an extremely potent greenhouse gas, far more so in even tiny amounts than carbon.
The biggest aid to the Earth’s environment would be to build huge complexes with padded rooms for liberals. It’d be better for the world and better for them. I’m willing to work to provide basic food for one or two poor liberals as long as they are safe in their padded rooms.
That’s funny—in 1990 in the first IPCC report (AR1), James Hansen attributed half of the AGW to chloroflourocarbons.
According to his theory then, eliminating CFCs would have a cooling effect. Somehow they forgot all about the effects of CFCs until just now when eliminating CFCs causes warming...OK.
A hair war always needs a few guns to shoot that kind of ammo.

No good deed goes unounished? No, these people really just don’t know what is happening or what to do about it. But maybe if we just give them more money...
Poison from about 1987 or so.
Saw them open for David Lee Roth about that time. One stray spark and both bands would have been gone.
