People always try to debunk science and make the scientific community seem bumbling, just to support inaction.
That "ice age" article from the '70s always gets cited. But there have been so many more predictions from the scientific community that HAVE come to pass. Look at the world today; so much habitat is gone. Pollution has wreaked havoc on some of our waterways. We're in the middle of a mass extinction.
It's all been so gradual, no one notices. But if you could have traveled to this day 30 or 40 years ago, it would be jaw-dropping. The planet is screaming at us right now.
As someone pretty famous has stated - our house is on fire.
Yep, you know nothing, because you can't critically read articles based on science obviously, based on your responses to date.
Wrong. One is a logical fallacy, the other is an insult. Big difference. Ad hominem means you have no worthwhile response. An insult is just that, independent of the response.
Nope. All you're saying now is, "I can't admit when I'm wrong."
I don't think you read the articles before you posted them, and I think your "opposed" opinion thing was just an attempt to save face.
At least 3 of the articles stated that the CFC ban was not only effective, but incredibly necessary. And your contention that it has made no difference in the size of the ozone hole displays no understanding whatsoever about the dynamics of the ozone hole.
The CFC ban worked. Science was right. Thank you for posting the articles that back that up.
Sure it did... That's why the hole at the South Pole is still there and a second bigger one in the tropics has been found...
It's when our flat earth tilts ever so slightly.
BOTH are logical fallacies. Just different ones.
What is this 'hole' at the tropics? Where is it located? Who is reporting it? How are they measuring it?
The Earth is not flat.
Wrong! Ad hominem is a logical fallacy. An insult is just an insult.

Seems all them there science types that study Gorebal Warming were totally fucking wrong about CFC's just as they are about CO2...
The world’s population is more than three times larger than it was in the mid-twentieth century. The global human population reached 8.0 billion in mid-November 2022 from an estimated 2.5 billion people in 1950, adding 1 billion people since 2010 and 2 billion since 1998. The world’s population is expected to increase by nearly 2 billion persons in the next 30 years, from the current 8 billion to 9.7 billion in 2050 and could peak at nearly 10.4 billion in the mid-2080s.
Deforestation has greatly altered landscapes around the world. About 2,000 years ago, 80 percent of Western Europe was forested; today the figure is 34 percent. In North America, about half of the forests in the eastern part of the continent were cut down from the 1600s to the 1870s for timber and agriculture. China has lost great expanses of its forests over the past 4,000 years and now just over 20 percent of it is forested. Much of Earth’s farmland was once forests.
According to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, opportunistic fungi are killing these trees. California's climate change-fueled drought, which has persisted for the better part of two decades, has stressed the trees and made them vulnerable to parasites.
Lacan says of the local acacias, "We have never seen the sort of mass mortality that we're seeing now."
Climate change has stoked a host of threats to trees, not just in California but across the country. Extreme storms, droughts, disease and insects are stressing and killing trees, and these trees pose a growing threat of wildfires and to grid reliability, many large utilities say. The Dixie Fire in Northern California, which has already burned more than 950,000 acres, was likely sparked by a tree falling onto a power line.
