Whatever Happened to the Hole in the Ozone Layer?

Somebody made a Hole-in-One...

[massmike]

This thinning is predicted to continue for the next 15 years due to weather-related phenomena...

But....but...but......I thought Al Gore said that all of us terrible humans were causing the problem!

[SonOfDarkSkies]

It moved to Montecito, California!

[Carley]

Remember, the ozone hole was only over Kinnebunkport.

Now that the Bush family is in Texas there is no need for an ozone hole.

It’s as big as ever, shhh, don’t tell the eco-nut jobs.

The sun creates the ozone hole, the sun destroys the ozone hole. It’s another one of those liberal things that just isn’t true. It has to do with the balance of UV-A and UV-B coming from the sun.

[Raycpa]

Don’t look at me. I didn’t take it.

obama will save just like he created jobs, stimuated the housing market & protected our country by maintaining a strong nuclear defense...oops were screwed!!

Junk science. The banning of aerosol propellants worked for the south pole but they can’t figure out the north pole problem. If that isn’t the classic case of a casual (not causal) relationship, I never heard one.

The ozone hole didn’t impact enough people. At most a few frogs in Australia got sunburned. The eco-wackos needed something bigger. Much bigger, so they came up with the CO2 scam.

DuPont and others made tons of money on the shift to new refrigerants so a new scam was needed

[rhombus]

So even though environmentally friendly laws have successfully reversed the trend of ozone depletion, the lingering effects of aerosol use, and the link between the ozone hole and global warming, virtually ensure that this problem will persist until the end of the century.

So don't worry and don't fret, all is still right in liberal-land.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

The lying bastards can explain neither how the heavier-than-air CFCs get way up there to affect the ozone layer, nor how 38/100ths of a percent of CO2 can form a layer in the atmospheric gases and trap heat.

It's all just an agenda driven attempt to quash economic freedom.

[Pan_Yan]

Ahhh, but this data is from 2006. How much ozone has been saved or created since the immaculation of the annointed one?

[workerbee]

It closed in Nov. 2009. About the same time the ocean levels stopped rising.

[workerbee]

Make that Nov. 2008.

[USS Alaska]

Algore found the hole, but his ozone sure smells funny.

[Jack Hammer]

“The size of the hole has stabilized, thanks to decades of aerosol-banning legislation.”

Purest conjecture from eco-scientists and eco-loonies collecting fat paychecks and/or the warm fuzzies from a fictional eco-crisis “corrected” by a nonsensical fix.

All the "ozone depleting chemicals" were heavier then air. How did they get up all those miles to perform this chemical process? Answer: It was about destroying an existing market AFTER having setup its replacement quietly in the background, to be forced by new laws. Just like what's happening today.
