    Default Hole in the ozone layer huge again

    Over 40 years ago, "climate scientists" told us that we needed to ban CFC's to fix the hole in the ozone layer at the South Pole. Well, the world did. Those "scientists" then said that within 20 years the hole would close. Well, forty years later, and the hole in the ozone layer is bigger than usual having never closed at all.

    Each year, as the Southern Hemisphere heads into spring, the ozone layer thins over the Antarctic, but scientists say that the hole is bigger than usual this year.
    The researchers who monitor the ozone layer say the hole is as big as Antarctica and is now 'larger than 75% of ozone holes at that stage in the season since 1979.'

    Seems those "scientists" were dead flat wrong on CFC's. What else could they be dead flat wrong on...?

    LOL! Talk about jumping to conclusions to play out a political narrative- YOU TAKE THE CAKE SIR!

    I suspect that some careless nefarious manufacturer is creating CFC's again- and it is just a matter of time that researchers will discover who it is and the world will have to deal with them.

    Laws do not prevent crime- they can only deter it.

    You can bet that the perpetrators are in some 3rd-world country. BUT TRUST ME, THEY WILL BE FOUND AND DEALT WITH BY THE WORLD COMMUNITY!

    You should read more about it. This is actually an annual event - it's not permanent.

    And they weren't wrong about CFC's, at all.

    Research & study. The best avenues to true knowledge.

    At least a conservative is TRYING to talk about the environment. Points for that.

    You fail at logic.

    Remember correlation does not mean causation. The ozone layer growing back does not mean they were wrong about CFCs.

    Thanks for posting this thread. Good current event.

    Banning the manufacture of CFCs did not remove the ones that were already out there in AC and refer units all over the world.

    Those units have continued in operation until, one by one, they have failed and released their CFCs into the atmosphere.

    That's why the problem has become worse after mitigation efforts began.

    Lag time.

    The effort to prevent more CFCs from adding to the atmospheric load has prevented the ozone hole from becoming even larger than it already has.

    Why do you put climate scientists in quotes? Do you not believe there is such a thing as climate science? Or do you only recognize the ones who say what you want to hear.

    There is actually a lot of money to be made by going green.

    And it is good for life on the planet and the future of humanity.

    I look forward to having an electric car.

    No more repair bills for:

    starter
    transmission
    radiator
    fuel pump
    oil change
    exhaust system
    emission controls
    tune up
    timing chain
    coil
    alternator
    water pump

    Ever spent any $ on any of those?

    It closes every year. It opens every year.

    The ozone layers are built up by the Sun's interaction on oxygen in the atmosphere. We can't stop it even if we wanted to. At the winter of a pole (ever notice that the Church of the Ozone Hole reports this every summer? That's WINTER at the South Pole!), there is no daylight, so...no ozone. Big deal. The penguins are not going to die from lack of ozone.

    It is, of course, amusing that the Church of the Ozone Hole is *still* there trying to say it's getting worse even after they implemented their fix for it!

    The Church of the Ozone Hole was started by the DuPont corporation, which was losing its patents on R-12 refrigerant.
