,,, I think it may have been last year NASA sent a plane down to circle Antarctica for a while to work out the present size and condition of the ozone hole - did you ever hear anything about the findings of that research?

Have you heard anymore about the scientist at the base at the So. Pole getting sick? What made them sick? It seems like when we were in NZ last April it was all over the news. BTW looks like we are coming back this April.

Don't recall that particular mission.

But given the lack of follow-up press, whatever they found couldn't be sold as supporting the Global Warming hoax.

NASA scientists at thhe Goddard Space Flight Center said that the Ozone hole in 2000 was equal in size with the largest on record ozone hole during 1999. The lake of change was attributed to a leveling off of the phenomenon since CFC's have been banned. They expect the ozone hole to start shinking from here on out.

The problem is that prior to the CFC ban those same scientists said that the upper atmospheric clorine and ozone depletion would continue to increase until the year 2050 even if CFC production were totally stopped at the time of the ban.

Now they've interpreted conflicting data as support for their beliefs. What con men these enviro scientists are...

Re: this thread. Since the ozone depletion is a function of temperature, I wonder if the thermal variation in Antarctica isn't the cause of the ozone hole growth observed recently. The timeframes are similar.
