No shit. Ventolin is such an amazing replacement, if you’ve got a spare $30 to piss away for idiocy.

As a lay person, how do I know if the ozone layer is a problem or not? One hint was that it was being raised with alarm bells by the same hysterical people who claim man is killing the planet via global warming.
I dismissed the danger here out of hand shortly after it was raised.
Well, it healed. Who could have seen this coming?
I suspect it fluctuates over time, and had probably been in the same worst condition we found it in, only before such recordings were possible.

You're exactly right. When i see reports like this I laugh. "healing" it was never hurt!
How dumb are these people?

Looks like “fake news,” has a sibling..”Fake science,” and all of it has been profitable for the fakers. Hope that can end soon.

Those of y'all who have been paying attention about this "ozone hole" thing for the past thirty or so years will recall that the only reason this 'ozone hole' was noticed in the first place is that a new satellite had been sent into orbit and it detected a 'thinning' of ozone over the antarctic region. Everyone got all panicky and they quickly decided that chlorofluorocarbons were at fault. That meant that the most common refrigerant in use at the time, the patent for which was about to expire, had to be banned. Luckily Dow Chemical had a new freshly patented refrigerant on hand to take its place, so we were all saved.
Now, here's the interesting thing IMO... (besides how convenient this all was to certain corporate entities)... The reason this 'ozone hole' had never been seen previously was because we'd not had instrumentation in space capable of detecting it previously. So, we have no idea if this was a normal cycle (I recall there being correlation to sunspot cycles) or if this was something that was actually abnormal. The fact that it seems to be self-repairing during a time of historic low sunspot activity is interesting.

And now the whackoes are claiming that mankind saved the planet from the ozone hole, thus we must do the same with AGW*. Just listened to some idiot “scientist” spout this on John Bachelor’s show.
(* or is that AGC ?)
