So what amount of annual loss is considered to result in stasis?
We are entering the beginning of the 11 year sunspot cycle. This signals an increase in solar activity including solar flares and sunspots. These solar events create ozone.
well, d’oh!
The ozone hole is shrinking! We’re doomed!
(Wait, is the ozone hole good or bad?)
If they are, it's not because of ozone depletion.
For a short period each year, the edge of the ozone hole passes
over Tierra del Fuego, at the southern end of the South American
continent. This has led to a flurry of reports of medical damage
to humans and livestock. Dermatologists claim that they are seeing
more patients with sun-related conditions, nursery owners report
damage to plants, a sailor says that his yacht's dacron sails have
become brittle, and a rancher declares that 50 of his sheep,
grazing at high altitudes, suffer "temporary cataracts" in the
spring. (_Newsweek_, 9 December 1991, p. 43; NY Times, 27 July
1991, p. C4; 27 March 1992, p. A7).
Mr.Inconvenient truth is gonna be pissed.
Just think how large it would have grown to, if not for all the personal things Algore did to combat Gorebull warming.
All hail Algore
I guess that ozone surge is working. Nice fishing spot on your page.
That Dobson is really pi$$ing me off. First he disses Thompson and now this
Well that puts a hole in global warming. A big one
Hopefully, someday these “scientists” will figure out that the ozone hole expands and contracts and there is not a damn thing man can do about it.
We need to bring back R-12 and hairspray. That’ll fix it.
“Hopefully, someday these “scientists” will figure out that the ozone hole expands and contracts and there is not a damn thing man can do about it.”
Never happen. Those minds believe man can destroy everything and man can fix everything. It’s a deluded arrogance commonly accompanied by a lack of belief in any deity.
This was on Valentine today and the way it was explained to him was “it’s a thermostat” so just let it operate as usual and don’t “mess” with it. We started messing with it years ago unfortunatly.
Maybe now they can use the right insulation ( made with CFCs ) on the Space Shuttle that they used back in the 80’s that really worked and didn’t fall apart.
Mother Earth has done her Kegels well.
This means I’ll have to try harder next year.
Now we must stop our use of these chemicals (for the time being), AND stop purposely attacking the ozone for the sake of science, in order for Earth to heal.
Al Gore is full of it.
I like small ozone holes.
