Bugsy,

Thank heavens you are "done with" with me, you tiresome bully. It will be a relief not to be involved in your self-delusion, ignorant arrogance and total disconnection with other people and with reality.

Now who's the name-caller? Are you from the "typical left'?

So much for 'evidence-based discussion'.

"In the 21st century there has not been a six-month period without a major crisis that simultaneously affected several countries or industry sectors. We are seeing more and bigger catastrophes created by increasing urbanisation, climate change and globalisation. The world has become an interdependent village."

Bugsy please look at http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/news/beck/230899.htm
I do also remember an Australian scientist saying it was all about the sun anyway. That was because the sun was stronger in summer but weaker in winter on the South Pole. Therefor the south pole had a bigger hole over it in spring. Simple science but any chance to steal our money by greeny idiots.
I stand by my comments.

Indeed, Urbanisation, Mickey Mouse and globalisation are leading to more and bigger catastrophes.

Naughty you, Mickey!

Good lord JBowyer, a post from apolitical analyst from 1999? How authoritative! You really blew me away with that one!

Really though, all you have to do is look up a science-based website like: http://www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/science/ozone_hole.php

Which will explain all you need to know about what's causing the thinning in the ozone layer above Antarctica. Yes, it even explains the seasonality of the ozone thickness.

If you think that you can some real scientific publications, GoogleScholar is your friend.

That there is no political campaign to inform or change people minds about the ozone layer is because the politics is settled on this. There's no need to muster support, because it is not controversial, it's universally agreed upon with an international treaty and everything, except by perhaps some fringe dwellers who didn't get the memo. That doesn't mean the ozone hole has gone away though.
