ozone hole shrinking? I see that as a problem, as my opinion is that the ozone hole is a chimney, allowing pollutants out of the atmosphere and out into space...
Ping!
Does that mean we should all start using spray-on deodorant again?
First an open ozone hole was bad... now a closed ozone hole is bad. Can’t these idiot scientists make up their minds?
Thank you, H.A.R.P.! Chemtrails don’t help, either.
Global Warming has become a null phrase to me. Therefore, I see no problem with the ozone hole closing.
Wow! For a second there I thought they were refering to one of my favorite bars.
To summarize:
There is a whole in the ozone - we are all going to die.
The whole in the ozone is closing - we are going all to to die.
Well, one thing is for sure. I won’t do any sunbathing in Antarctica any more.
More bad news about our environment.
It must be those damned Chinese Communists who haven't given up their aerosol sprays! No. Wait. It's something else isn't it?
Oh, I know. It's greenhouse gases.
(I think I'll go out and hug a tree or do something obscene to it.)
Thank you for posting the article.
Ozone is ‘formed’ by the solar wind impacting on the atmosphere, and the energy influx at the poles.
It won’t stop until the Sun quits shining.
AND, if you are going to have ‘holes’ in the ozone layer, what better place than above the frozen wastes of the Artic and Antartic, where the few creatures that live there have an extreme amount of built in protection from the harmful rays that come from the Sun.
God is pretty smart.
HOLE IN THE OZONE!!! WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
OZONE HOLE CLOSING!!! WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!
What must be observed by this “news”, is that the permanent psychological state of humanity must always be to wring its hands in despair over the future that humanity will always mess up. /sarc
Yet, what other part of nature (besides humanity) is conscious about all the other parts of nature, in and of the earth, and trying to monitor its own role, consciously, in something other than a survival of the fittest fashion - only humanity and nothing else.
So, what is the “natural” result of “nature”? It is the unseen hand of efficiency of resources played out by the total interplay of all elements of life seeking, independently, their own survival. Anyone who thinks this balance is due to some natural altruism in nature, outside of humanity, is simply anthropomorphizing all of nature in one sweep.
My bowling score accelerates global warming.
These are the same Crack-Pots that brought us Global Warming!
Real the following from NASA and NOAA in 2006!!!:
NASA and NOAA Announce Ozone Hole is a Double Record Breaker...
From September 21-30, 2006 the average area of the ozone hole was the largest ever observed, at 10.6 million square miles. This image, from Sept. 24, the Antarctic ozone hole was equal to the record single-day largest area of 11.4 million square miles, reached on Sept. 9, 2000. ...
“From September 21 to 30, the average area of the ozone hole was the largest ever observed, at 10.6 million square miles,” said Paul Newman, atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md....

Ozone hole is closing, but it is not good news. The reason why is that didn’t get ENOUGH $$$ from the GOVERNMENT to see how they can tax us to close it. :)
The largest ozone hole ever measured occured in 2006.
The hole’s not closing. The volcanoes provide the material and the cold temperatures help the holes form.
The antarctic temperature in 2006 was 9 degrees below normal.
