<<Just like the Fraud of the ozone hole being man...>>

Yes indeed, Hasbeen, I would like to hear more about that --it deserves a full and thorough espose.

The hole in the ozone was huge news a decade of so ago --life threatening --and in need of urgent global action, but now we never hear of it--AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE IT DISAPPEARED OR DIMINISHED.

I know this is out of context and nothing to do with thr article but I do wish the experts would denounce the fraud behind God and Fairies, in my eyes it is as big a fraud as your climate change, I prefer to believe in climate change over the other crap which so many believe in all over the world.

That is an interesting way of deciding what to believe Ojnab, to prefer to believe something.

Personally I believe what is proven to my satisfaction, & nothing else.

Preferring to believe something sounds like an academic activity. You can get the money, & ease your conscience at the same time. A really great system

SPQR, regarding the ozone layer, you probably never hear of the ozone layer these days because global action was actually taken. The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (shortened to the Montreal Protocol) was universally ratified by all nations more than four years ago.
http://ozone.unep.org/new_site/en/montreal_protocol.php

Therefore the fact that the ozone layer still exists isn't exactly major news, or cause for major political agitation. The political action needed has already been taken. Now it's a matter of wait and see if the action taken has had much effect. This page may go some way to answer that question:
http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/assessments/ozone/2002/qandas16.pdf

The Montreal Protocol was a very good example of how a policy can be universally accepted and acted upon for something that affects the world globally. In that way it may be considered a precursor to the Kyoto protocol (which is still in existence, whatever spindoc says: http://unfccc.int/kyoto_protocol/items/2830.php
and nations are ratifiying the Doha Amendment http://unfccc.int/kyoto_protocol/doha_amendment/items/7362.php).

However, ozone depletion as a 'fraud' and a 'trial run' of global warming 'scares', is a very poor choice of comparison for climate change 'skeptics'.

Come on Bugsy, we all know it had no effect on the ozone hole.

We also know it had a very great effect on Dow's profitability. Their patent on their refrigerant gas was expiring, opening them to competition.

The ban allowed them to use their new patent on their new refrigerant gas, continuing their profitability.

Obviously other allies, with other motives, were required to get the bull dust up, & they were the fool academics.
