The ozone hole boils down to two things, the lack of sunlight for six months at a time, and the stratospheric air currents preventing ozone rich air from reaching the south pole. So yeah, it might be related to changes in stratospheric circulation. Duh.
Perhaps the magnetic field at the poles allow charged particles from the sun to stream in and disrupt the formation of ozone molecules....
NAH.... Gotta be them bad horrible HEW-MANS!!! and their bad horrible hair sprays and chlorofluorocarbons...
No, seriously. There or actually people wasting everyone’s time wondering about Cal farts. Check out this article on Forbes https://www.forbes.com/sites/samlemonick/2017/09/29/scientists-underestimated-how-bad-cow-farts-are/#12246cd478a9
I'd like to think the screen writer was trying to be amusing, but everything I hear from democrats, these days, trends toward them being unable to tell fact from fiction. They are retreating into some sick fantasy, and demanding that we come with them, at gun point.
They are thinking too hard, with too little. Their neurons are starting to smolder
Well somebody better get with it. Because this is totally unacceptable, this is settled science. right?
Magnetosphere and charged solar particles.
BINGO!
this should be a lesson that government can NOT solve climate problems- ever- and in no way shape or form should they be allowed to extract money from us to try to do so!
It a all a crock to begin with. It was, in part, a move to ban a substance from the marked as it lost its patent protection in order to substitute a new product that would start the patent period anew.
yea, maybe it would be necessary to state maybe because science does not understand anything..
Modern ‘scientists’ always go looking for what they already know to exist ... and surprisingly, they find it - no matter how much data they have to change or omit ...
Yeah. I’m guessing they didn’t know why it had a hole in the first place. I suspect they get their exercise by jumping to conclusions.
Same “Scientists” that said 2 months ago that it had fully recovered? They need to stuck with jellyfish.
50 years ago they didn’t even know that there was a hole in the ozone layer at the poles, much less that it would form and heal in a cyclic manner.
How do they even know the lack of healing isn’t just an instrumentation issue? After all, the ozone layer that they are so worried about is only 3 mm thick (less than 1/8 inch). Who went up and measured the thickness of this transparent gas? Also, the ozone layer is about 8 miles up. What kind of accuracy can they get measuring a 1/8-inch layer of a transparent gas that is 8 miles away?
Pretty simple. Ozone is 3 oxygen atoms bound together which is not a stable molecule. The normal configuration is 2 oxygens bound together.
It takes energy, in this case sunlight to build these unstable molecules.
Less sunspots, less energy, less ozone.
Obviously fake news. I mean, come on folks - the science is *settled* after all! According to the libs we know all we need to know about how the climate works - that’s got to include the atmosphere and oceans after all. We know it is all Trump/Bush/Palin/big-oil/homophobe/islamophobe’s fault... Ditch them and it’s all rainbow gumdrops and sweet unicorn farts... /s
“treaty designed to phase out chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, responsible for destroying ozone in the stratosphere. The protocol has worked as intended in reducing these substances, and early healing of the ozone “hole” over Antarctica has been subsequently hailed by scientists”........ They don’t know that it didn’t heal itself. They don’t know that CFCs were responsible for causing it to decline either. They know that CFCs are heavier than air,too,& tend to seek lower levels.
