This, along with the recent collapse of other ice shelves like Larsen B, has been put down to an overall increase in temperatures caused by damage to the ozone layer that protects the earth from the sun.

Okay, first, it was my understanding that the ozone layer issue did not have anything to do with global warming, but with protection from UV rays. Second: Man made? Proof? It happened before naturally and there's no documentation that I know of showing that this cycle - repeat, CYCLE - is any worse or even any different. This is more fearmongering over a system that is so complex we can neither completely understand nor hope to control it.

I never bought into the "ozone depletion by Freon" argument. Ozone layer is at the edge of the atmosphere and the Freon chloro-flourocarbon chemicals' molecules are heavier than air. How then does it get up there to destroy ozone? They have never really explained that to any satisfactory level........
