Yep ozone layer is very thin in some places now, not good.

Ozone layer may be restored in decades, UN report says

A global agreement in 1987 to ban chemicals harming the ozone layer is working, scientists say.

Yep.

The worldwide effort to ban the use of CFCs is proof positive that humans can combat environmental degradation through science and cooperation.

Good lesson to all the folks that think global temperatures and climate change cannot be affected by human intervention.

I can honestly say I don't understand your position on the Ozone layer.

A few posts back you posted a handwritten memo that stated in the 90's it was "supposed to be gone in 10 years", which "didn't happen" but resulted in "More Taxes".

Now you're posting a link to an article that says there is still a significant hole over the Antarctic, but that the actions taken in 1987 (banning CFCs, which is definitely not the same as raising taxes) are working and it is slowly shrinking.

Do you actually believe both of these things, which are obviously at odds with each other?

There's lots of cognitive dissonance to be sure. I think some people use the ozone layer healing as proof that climate change isn't a problem and the world will just naturally take care of itself.

They of course ignore that the healing of the ozone layer is being directly caused by a manmade effort to stop doing something that we know has a negative impact on the planet.

can’t see the difference between the prediction of it disappearing and the fact that the ozone layer is still in existence?


By the way, I did not write that note, in case you think I did

Did you read the article lol?

It stopped disappearing because we actually did something about it.

Indeed. It's the end of us, not the world.

 

[Golden_Jet]

A climate change denier lol.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

tell that to the dinosaurs

 

[Mingus Dew]

Speaking of the end of the world, anyone ever read 'On the Beach' by Shute?

Pretty incredible novel. So mundane yet heartbreaking all at once. The last 15 or so pages hit me harder than any book or movie has in some time.

ohhhh, maybe we get to be the next chickens!

I read it about two years ago.

Yes, very very powerful.

Very clear you did NOT watch the interview.

I read up on him, that’s all I needed to know, before wasting my time.

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

so without listening to him, and hear the words that come out of his mouth, you rely on someone (friend or foe?) else’s opinion on him, and you know for sure what his position is.

by labeling him a denier proves whomever’s word you took on him was dead wrong.

That’s what his books are about lol, now he has been changing his tune a bit more recently, so there’s hope for him yet.

he has been abdicating for adaption over mitigation for years, and makes a lot of good points about the wasted money that could better spent than what has been done so far with no significant results to point to.
It is long past time to change directions as far as i am concerned

So what's your stance on global warming?

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

So what's your stance on global warming?

that it is not being driven by human activity as the alarmists have been trying to convince us of for about 30 years now…. Especially when the was a 20 consecutive year stretch in there, when the globe did not warm, and basically plateaued….

There is an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence that refutes your point of view but you, like the typical boomer you are, get your info from cherry picked youtube videos that act as an echo chamber for your opinions.
