Antarctic ozone hole closes early this year

“Despite a 25-year-old agreement that limits the production and use of
ozone-destroying chemicals (the Montreal Protocol), stratospheric ozone in the
Arctic and Antarctic regions, as well as globally, is no longer decreasing, but
it has not yet started to recover either.”

“Relatively warm stratospheric temperatures helped limit the size of this
year’s Antarctic ozone hole, which disappeared completely by Nov. 10, earlier
than in recent years.” [Summit
County Voice]

My guess is, the ozone hole being a negative feedback mechanism, it reached
its’ limits and shut down for this
year.

“Ozone-destroying hemicals such as chorolflouorocarbons and halons have a
long atmospheric lifetime, illustrating the delicate balance of the
atmospheric system, which is currently being overloaded with heat-trapping
greenhouse gases.”

Delicate. Oh my.

Is it “a long atmospheric lifetime,” or the correlation between CFCs and
upper atmosphere ozone has now been proven coincidental?

Enviro-whackos never let go.

CL2FL2CH4 is a complex molecule ergo,heavy, and cannot reach the
stratosphere. It rises to the troposphere where it is precipitated out. The
Montreal Protocol is based on the same type of alarmism/lies as all the
other Green scams.

Dupont fought it for awhile. But they were getting beat up by the
press, and someone in marketing realized they could make more money off
the Freon replacement than from Freon. So they quit
fighting.

This means DuPont is still throwing money at the greenies to protect its
patent portfolio on refrigerants. If there was no money in the game, the
greenies would move on to a different issue.
