Halon is to be discontinued because it affects the ozone layer around the Earth? If that is so then maybe someone can contradict the following remarks or let the EU/Politicians allow the aviation industry to use Halon [nothing really works as an alternative ] as it isn't being used all day, every day.
"There isn't now, nor has there ever been a so-called 'hole' in the ozone layer.
It's just thinner in some places than in others at times.
It is the sun which creates the ozone layer, and over the poles is where this thinning occurs on an annual basis. It is at a minimum level in early spring and rapidly increases in the next few months, then begins to decline as the winter approaches. The minimums occur in September/October over the Antarctic and in March/ April over the Arctic.
This makes perfect sense to me since these are the periods of time when each pole is coming out of their winter period with minimal solar activity or solar exposure.
If the so-called 'hole' is larger this year than last year also makes sense since we are currently at the bottom of the 11 year cycle of solar sunspot activity which will also have an impact on ozone production.
This anomaly was first documented in the late 1950's but could not be explained at the time, and now that we have satellite data and more accurate and sophisticated equipment to measure the atmosphere, the evidence should point out what should be obvious, but science abuse still continues."
Anyone care to disprove the above statement?
