I didn’t even notice that the Global Warming Pharisees had brought in some of the “Ozone Depletion” Sadducees. Anyone with basic knowledge of chemistry and astronomy knows ozone depletion is B/S. What is ozone? It is O3, an inherently unstable ionization of Oxygen. What causes it to exist? The absorption of energy by Oxygen atoms, causing them to form the ionized Ozone particle. Left alone, the ozone will naturally break down into the “normal” O2 molecule. How is Ozone created in the upper atmosphere? Through bombardment of Oxygen from solar radiation. Where and when do the ozone “holes” appear? At the earth’s poles, during each polar winter. What is happening then? Well, due to the earth’s axis, that is when those polar regions are pointed away from the sun, and not receiving solar radiation which causes the creation and replenishment of ozone.
A perfectly natural phenomenon. And one that has been happening for a billion years, or a least since Earth had a significant amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.
That is where all this idiocy started. Back in those days, there was no world wide web. No fancy graphical internet displays. Just basic windows, text and the internet newsgroups. Along with thousands of private BBS's. Was there, on the internet newsgroups, arguing with these credentialed clowns. There standard response was to send you to their FAQ, which contained nothing but references to Science and Nature articles. They acted as if referring to Science and Nature made them geniuses. As if..
