the blasts could be contributing to the depletion of the Earth’s ozone layer.
Oh really? Imagine that.

This is obviously a pre-emptive attempt by friends of George W. Bush to prevent him from being blamed for the extinction of life on earth when it happens. Blame some innocent gamma rays instead of blaming Bush and his oil industry buddies.
If gamma rays have caused earlier extinctions, that would mean that Gary Larson (The Far Side) was wrong when he attributed the dinosaurs' going extinct to their smoking cigarettes.

Keep some perspective. Your chances of getting killed by a gamma ray are far less than loosing your life on an air craft crash. Of course we all have been told the story about how that is less than dieing from getting hit by lightening, that of course is less than dieing in your bath tub or pool, and that......

New research SUGGESTS the continuation of life on Earth depends on massive explosions on the other side of the galaxy. The explosions, gamma-ray bursts THOUGHT to occur when two stars collide, can release tons of high-energy gamma-ray radiation into space.
Scientists BELIEVE they have already played a part in some the planet's extinctions.
They SAY the blasts could be contributing to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer.
Brian Thomas, of Washburn University, in Topeka, Kansas, said: 'We find that a kind of gamma-ray burst — a short gamma-ray burst — is PROBABLY more significant than a longer gamma-ray burst.
It is THOUGHT to be the first time scientists have connected the timing of these gamma-ray bursts to extinctions on Earth that can be dated through the fossil record.
They say the blasts COULD be contributing to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer.
Well, gee, if you're THAT sure.....

The Pierson’s Puppeteers know how to handle that one. You just move the entire solar system away from the exploding core.
