Gee, I wonder if this means that all those “gaping” scientists don’t understand the environment as much as they think they do??

It sounds as though they REALLY don’t understand the function of the ozone layer at all.

Here we go with the ozone hole thing again. I guess they might as well revive what worked last time. The polar bear and penguin thing is wearing kind of thin.

Well, it’s one of two things. Either human action wasn’t the primary culprit before the CFC ban, or it would have been worse without it and we ought to turn the entire government over to environmental experts. I think I know which of the two the Greenies will be calling for.

The hole is caused by unicorns singing in Christian Churches...

Therefore government money must be given to Christian Churches to research alternate ways for unicorns to sing. Money must also be given to conservative scientists to breed better unicorns.

Your TAX dollars at work if we were as delusional as democrats...

The science is settled. Ben and Jerry's ice cream causes climate change.

Time to get rid of it.

Maybe Ubama can give them a loan. That seems to be the kiss of death for any company.

Ozone is a free radical of oxygen. Regular oxygen is O2, Ozone is O3. To make ozone you subject regular oxygen to UV light. Let’s see, are there any stars near the Earth that emit light in the UV spectrum?

I deserve a governement grant, dammit!

That's not turmoil they are in. It is the contents of their rectum.

These GW pukes give scientists a really bad name.

Putting results before the prospect or data, solely for agenda driven speculation and baseless conclusions.

Sounds as though some as-of-yet-unidentified mechanism is thinning the ozone layer. If the government provides me with billions on grant money I'm sure I'll be able to identify the problem. One thing we can be certain of: this is a man-made phenomenon and will require massive regulatory action.

OMG! We must act fast and do something before all of the Arctic penguins disappear.

What if we someday discover that ozone depletion and global temperature fluctuations are natural processes not affected at all by human activity? And, yes, I want my freon back, too.

largest hole in the ozone layer over the North Pole in history


What history? And I thought all those hair spray aerosol bans would fix everything.

/grumble, nothing is ever fixed by Government, only God.

Will take decades to undo all the bad recent political science that has destroyed the scientific community. The Ozone phenomenon is very easy to understand. During the tail end of low solar activity periods, the ozone holes open up large. The reason is that less UV light was being emitted by the sun and less oxygen was converted into ozone as a result.

Now we are right in the early stages of what looks to be an average to below average solar maximum. So for the next few months we will see the worse of the very weak previous 5-6 years. This winter will be horrific. The good news is the recent activity, if it remains active, has stopped the cooling, but it will be awhile before we see net warming. Probably next summer at the earliest.

This actually is a very good situation to study the affect of the solar cycle. Just went through 5-6 low activity years and the past few winters have been nasty. Lets see how soon the activity from the maximum will start reversing the bad winters. If the activity levels remain were they are now, this winter will be the worse, followed by next winter which should be moderately warmer.

And I do not care what some idiots with a few measurements are claiming the global temperature average is or was. They are just idiots with too few and too inaccurate measurements. All that matters with respect to global cooling is the severity and length of the winter.
