Gotta bulldoze those Antarctic mountains...

I’m still looking for the evidence of a mechanism that carries the CFCs (which are heavier than air at sea level) to the stratosphere.

Here, sunlight breaks down the CFCs into products that react to produce chlorine, which in turn decomposes ozone.

Chlorine decomposes into O3?

Atmospheric alchemy.

I suggest the Miskatonic Institute send a team to study this.

All these stupid ‘reports’ show is that we as a species know little to nothing about how mother earth works and survives....and that we are too arrogant and naive to admit it. Instead we have the idiot scientists trying to tell us that “this is the way it is!!”

All recent information indicates that the ozone ‘hole’ is closing, and will be closed completely in 40 years.

But but but... We don’t use CFCs anymore. Didn’t we already ban them and a lot of other nice chemicals that used to keep our shuttle astronauts alive, and prevent malaria, and like that? < whines >

OMGosh! CFCs must be FOREVER! They never go away! Oh, the children and the puppies!

[NorCoGOP]

it has been observed that “mountain waves” in the atmosphere above Antarctica create rare clouds that are helping destroy the ozone layer

Shame on us...21+ posts and not ONE:

Bush's Fault

tag....we're beginning to slip, folks.

polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs),

Better known as "nacreous clouds".

If they called them that, however, then they would have to explain WHY they were first noted BEFORE we had CFCs to release...and also explain WHY they ALSO form in the Arctic regions, rather than being only an Antarctic phenomenon.
