I don't want to hijack this thread into a GW one but as it already has been, to some extent, and the Peak Oilers and GW doomsayers seem to want to link the two I will just post this.

And challenge you guys, in the friendliest manner, to think about this stuff in a slightly more open minded manner...rather than just listening to greeny, left wing media shouting the greenie, left wing mantra of
"We're all doomed!!"
And think also about this. If the miniscule overall reduction in CFCs of the last 10-15 years in the southern hemisphere has managed to start the ozone hole closing back up again, according to NASA, NOAA etc, how come the massive use of CFCs in the northern hemisphere never caused a hole in the ozone over the artic the way 'we' in the southern hemisphere managed to damage the ozone over the antarctic? Given that the vast majority of the southern hemisphere is open water and the remainder sparsely populated continents...as opposed to the situation in the northern hemisphere.
Maybe it was all just a natural cycle?
