There never was a "hole" that was idiots in the media calling it that, it was a THINNING of the concentration and it's been shown to be SEASONAL, and it's not going away any time soon, it's still quite there

*FORMER* sec'y is wrong, the world does not LOSE money, money is not lost/gone, it simply changes hands
"We've had climate change for eons - millions of years. We've had hurricanes for many thousands of years and all of a sudden - they are all caused by global warming.

ANother clueless who needs to READ, no one has suggested any such thing, they have stated the FREQUENCY and the SEVERITY of the weather and storms has increased, that is why you are seeing more and more records being broken for heat, cold, duration of hot or cold days, record snowfalls, record amounts of rain in certain areas, drought, floods, faster more damaging tornados, hurricanes, tsunamies, later start of fall etc.
The issue IS, a huge hurricane in the year 300 hitting what is miami beach and a tsunami wave washing over the land would only have destroyed grass, trees and moved sand around, but NOW with millions of people living there, wih billions of dollars worth of houses, contents, boats, cars, businesses etc, such a storm would cause billions in damage, disrupt electrical grids, phones, computer networks, cell phone towers, transportation, business losses would be billions. Then the devastation of having to haul all that now junked building material, furniture, drywall, carpeting, appliances etc to overfilled landfills and in a rush supply all NEW replacements- lumber cut from more trees to rebuild tens of thousands of homes. - Reply to this comment

Who cares, we got our OWN problems!

Boy, you sure dont look at SATELITE images of the North and South poles do you? its obvious you and the other anti global warming theorists dont, because if y'all did you would see PROOF of massive ice melting at both poles and Greenland, and compared to archival images it's quite plainly visible whats going on. So now that we KNOW beyond any doubt that the climate is CHANGING and/or shifting, the ONLY unknown is what's the cause. Since the environment is a CLOSED system like a fish tank and we have been flushing our industrial toilets into the sky for 200 years, the only mystery is why the climate change hasnt happened sooner!
The cause? who knows! but little pissants that we are, nothing we do is going to reverse it - Reply to this comment

Yep.....but the DENIALISTS just cannot understand that 150 years of spewing garbage into our thin atmosphere has any effect on that "closed system," especially after the FUUXX NoNooz morons tell them so.

- The Sacred GW Quest For The Big $$$$$$$$$ Part II -
A shortened version of the four-minute exchange was aired on the Fox News program O'Reilly Factor. In a longer version, Gore admits that he gives every penny he makes from the climate issue to a nonprofit group. Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com says while that is true, a vital piece of information is missing.
"Al Gore's answer to her is [that] he gives every penny he makes into his nonprofit Alliance for Climate Protection," Morano explains. "The problem is, he is the founding member and the chair of that group. So essentially he's telling the people that he gives the money to himself."
Critics of Al Gore and cap-and-trade have accused the former VP of wanting to become the first "carbon billionaire." Since leaving the political scene, says Morano, Gore has gone from a worth of $2 million to $100 million. Do you think there is something wrong with being active in business in this country? says Lord Gore. "I'm proud of it."
The Inconvenient Truth by Lord $$$$$$ Gore's Institute for Advance $$$$ GW Studies. So Sad! Money talks it don't sing & dance and it don't walk. Just like the Ozone debacle when the funding $$$$$$ runs out Your Top GW Scientists will have to come up with another scheme that We The People will be paying for. Pretty Slick Trick eh. - Reply to this comment

- What a wonderful and fortuitous coincidence that the hole stopped growing and started contracting the moment mankind banned CFC's. Allowing you to post your bvllsh*t without the inconvenience of a general human epidemic in skin cancer.

Yeah - that was my personal bs article from the Univ of Mich
ubrew12 - show us your documents from the last 1000 years that show there was no hole in the ozone prior to human developing cfc's
All I know is science's "definates" today seem to pan out into oops's we were wrong tomorrow - Peter cried wolf so often nobody believed him when he told the truth.
besides the ozone hole issue - I remember carbon14 dating ended up with problems also, just to name 2 that come to mind - Reply to this comment
- The United Nations is engaging in scare tactics to promote their agendas. Margaret Chan, chief honcho of WHO, World Health Organization, is trying to scare the by saying the swine flu is going to kill millions.
Kofi Annan and his Global Humanitarian Forum is engaging in scare tactics about global warming. We've had climate change for eons - millions of years. We've had hurricanes for many thousands of years and all of a sudden - they are all caused by global warming.
We should pull the plug on the United Nations and invite them to move their headquarters from NYC. We are the world's largest financial contributor to the UN. We should tell them we can no longer support them and reduce our contribution by 90%. - Reply to this comment

- This article addresses the cost of doing nothing: expect more of them.
In like vein, you'd get RID of existing pollution controls?? Have a hankering for emphasyma, do you? How about cancer? Acid Rain?
Wish I could slip some acetone into your drinking water. Give you what you want.

You really missed the exchange didn't you - All I did was to show one way the "climate change" response could damage the US economy. I did not say whether or not I agreed with it or not. It was to answer dizzy's question. There is no free lunch here. If we want to produce goods we have to choose how much to spend to keep the environment as we found it.
This is total BS!! This was designed to damage the US economy. And our liberal leaders are more than willing to comply.

Contrary to the environmentalists' claims, there is no permanent hole in the ozone layer and no ozone shortage. Ozone is constantly created and destroyed. The interaction of ultraviolet radiation with oxygen molecules is what produces ozone. In the stratosphere, 10 to 40 kilometers above the earth's surface, several tons of ozone are produced every second.
The amount of ozone present at any one time is influenced by many factors. For example, the amount of ultraviolet radiation reaching the stratosphere (and ultimately producing ozone) depends upon latitude, solar cycle, and season. Concentrations of ozone may differ drastically from one day to the next, sometimes by as much as 50 percent, depending on the weather. Ozone holes are natural reactions to these ultraviolet light variations. Ozone levels can also be affected by the amount of volcanic matter in the stratosphere. Each volcanic eruption emits roughly a thousand times the amount of ozone?depleting chemicals than all the CFCs man has ever produced.
The ozone hole that appeared over Antarctica and caused all the panic is a natural and annual phenomena. The annual ozone hole was first measured in 1956?57, long before the ozone?destroying CFCs were in common use. The hole appears at the end of the dark, cold Antarctic winter, lasts about three to five weeks, and then disappears. There is no overall or permanent depletion of the ozone layer. - Reply to this comment
