O/T Ozone hole >>If there's any fault so far it's the scientists themselves working in the political arena.

Our world governments have never fixed one thing correctly.<<


No offense, jbog, but that's just nonsense.

Ever hear of the ozone hole and chlorofluorocarbons?
>>Since the adoption and strengthening of the Montreal Protocol has led to reductions in the emissions of CFCs, atmospheric concentrations of the most significant compounds have been declining. These substances are being gradually removed from the atmosphere—since peaking in 1994, the Effective Equivalent Chlorine (EECl) level in the atmosphere had dropped about 10% by 2008. It is estimated that by 2015, the Antarctic ozone hole will have reduced by 1 million km² out of 25 (Newman et al., 2004); complete recovery of the Antarctic ozone layer is not expected to occur until the year 2050 or later.<<

What man can screw up, man can also fix. It isn't always easy and it isn't always cheap. But what's really annoying is when people delay what is necessary on the grounds that it isn't easy or cheap or that there isn't even a problem. Then by the time everybody agrees there is a problem and it must be fixed it is a many times harder and a lot more expensive to fix!
