Mysteries of ozone depletion continue 25 years after the discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole

The AGW of the 1980's...........They banned CFCs but the hole is still there...........trillions of dollars wasted for no apparent reason other than some idiots believed in it..............

[GingisK]

Those folks need to do a bit more reading out of the lab. NASA proved conclusively that the ozone hole is coupled to sunspot activity.

[Red Badger]

Heresy!
Blasphemy!
To the stake with you!......................

Karry Mullis, the biochemist who invented DNA replication has some interesting things to say about man’s effect on ozone. It’s a total crock.

[crusty old prospector]

But just think of all the stimulus that your tax donations performed. All of those scientists that got grants fed their families, invested in the stock market, went on vacations, bought new electric cars, donated to the DNC, called that lawyer at 1-800-MESOTHELOMIA and got compensated for their exposure to asbestos in their labs, etc..... You were their lifeline.

Silly boy! There’s no money in Sunspots.

::They banned CFCs but the hole is still there ::

It’s always been there, it is a dynamic of the atmosphere and the temperature. “Climate Scientists” have never proven the existence of an intact ozone layer (’cuz they can’t).

So when can I have my R-12 back? F’in communists.....

[mad_as_he$$]

No kidding, it is a travesty. I asked a anti-CFC crusdaer once what the mechanism was that caused the CFC’s to travel from North America to the South Pole. No answer. The link between CFC’s and the ozone hole is tenuous at best.

AGW is not far behind. AGW scam will be 25 years old in 2013!

[Red Badger]

I liken it to Spanish explorers discovering the Grand Canyon, essentially a big hole in the ground, then claiming that unless we damn the Colorado River the whole world will become a vast wasteland because of erosion......................

[joe fonebone]

my theory is that the ozone hole is actually like a chimney, opening up to allow toxins??? to be released from the atmosphere, and closing up when the air is correct...

[US Navy Vet]

“and it’s amazing that we still have much to learn, even after studying ozone for so long” this is just code for “after ALL of these years and after all of this MONEY we are still clueless”!

Really climate science should be renamed to climate politics b/c thats what it really amts to. Consider most weather forecasts are barely ahead of whats actually happening. If forecasting weather is so difficult then climate predictions are still well out of our reach. Sadly, this ‘science’ is happy to settle on what little they know now and call it good. Climatology seems the place flat world types have found a refuge.

The fact that the South pole is a magnetic pole has nothing to do with charged particles, right?

Must be the wind patterns high in the atmosphere that only drive the cfc's to bunch up over antarctica.

[TomGuy]

proposed ideas to "geoengineer" the Earth's climate

That prospect is more frightening than natural global climate changes.

"It looked good on paper, but ... "

Libs and Leftist come up with ideas, but they never look far enough in the future so foresee the unintended consequences.

[ElkGroveDan]

Imagine if the first scientists who encountered the Grand Canyon declared that the erosion was being caused by changing weather patterns created by irresponsible farming practices in the Midwest.

[Reeses]

Windmills looked good on paper. One of their unintended side effects is they unintentionally geoengineer local climate change. Extracting large amounts of energy from the very thin band of atmosphere where all evaporation takes place changes the climate.

[mad_as_he$$]

Prove CFC’s are charged particles. How do they get past all of the West/East wind patterns in the Northern Hemisphere?

[Cheetahcat]

Bunch of Idiots,we had to change to a more expensive but less efficient gas,because of some slobbering enviro Pinheads who got it wrong,Plus a worthless Government that is filled with the same.
