    yes they diid google it..
    I can't Google something that's not true. It was always anticiapted that the Ozone layer would repair. It's just another example of how non scientists misrepresent what scientists say.
    not talking about that..
    you know what i mean

    No, I don't.

    No, I don't.

    If the scientitsts anticipated that the Ozone layer would repair itself, why did they make all the fuss about it?

    So if a fat doctor told you that being overweight was a risk factor for heart disease you wouldn't believe him?


    If I knew that his salary depended upon him telling me there was a certain type of problem and nothing else, I may question his advice.

    Because it couldn't repair itself as fast as we were eroding it. Now we've stopped eroding it, it's repaired.

    You'd still find out he was right.

    Why would he be paid by you to tell you something that was wrong?

    Think you missed the point, the climate change industry relies on it being a problem, if it is discovered it is not a problem with dire consequences then the people who rely on it for a living will be out of work. As has been shown with the "Climategate" emails, this can lead to "experts" being rather selective as to which data they use and ignoring anything that does not support their theory.

    In 1985, scientists from the British Antarctic Survey found a giant hole in the ozone layer of Earth's atmosphere over the South Pole. This discovery prompted a largely successful international effort to ban CFCs, the chemicals largely responsible for man-made thinning of the ozone layer.
    Unfortunately, a new analysis from Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) suggests that stopping ozone depletion may actually increase global warming and speed up sea level rise. This discovery pits two important environmental missions against each other, while highlighting the complexity of our effect on the planet. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    You won't. Unless you keep back issues of The Sun maybe, it certainly wasn't scientists saying the Ozone layer wouldn't repair.

    The thing is, Dr Phil Jones, Michael Mann and the rest all had jobs long before this was an issue and would all keep their jobs if the perfect CO2 absorption machine were discovered tomorrow.

    Only their lives would be immeasurably easier without TV Weather presenters thinking that's the same as being a climate scientist and fooling ill educated members of the public with fake graphs.
