1) The Ozone hole(s) at both poles existed when we FIRST measured.
2) IF we had no ozone thinning, the earth would have NO SEASONS (e.g. we WOULD be a greenhouse)
3) “Ozone depleting” chemicals are not the issue — Dupont’s expiration of patents on them (and therefore the inability to make money) is at the root of banning certain types of cloroflourocarbons
4) IF freon is causing ozone depletion, it supposedly does this by charged free chlorine gas in the upper atmosphere -— and if that’s so, freon as a source pales in comparison to the billions of metric tons of chlorine we put in water (which, by the way is easier to liberate than the chlorine in freon).
IF you don’t believe me about point #2, let me as you a simple question...
In the northern hemisphere, during winter, the cold, cold wind blows down from the Arctic into Canada, while simultaneously it’s blowing into Siberia. So the wind blows FROM the northern pole DOWN (south) in every direction.....WHERE DOES the wind come from that is blowing SOUTH in every direction????? It comes from the UPPER ATMOSPHERE, enabled by a thinning in our OZONE!!!!
“and if that’s so, freon as a source pales in comparison to the billions of metric tons of chlorine we put in water (which, by the way is easier to liberate than the chlorine in freon).”
IIRC, the oceans are filled with salt water, and high altitude chloride ions are primarily attributable to oceanic evaporative processes and volcanic sources.
Congress attempted to write legistalion controlling atmospheric chloride ion lvele without waterproof and volacno proof paper.
