  1. JOHNNIE B: Are you really that "lacking of intelligence" ?

    Why do you think we don´t have gases organized in our atmosphere according to their densities ? Ever heard of wind/turbulences?

    Why doesn´t your tomato sauce and your paste stay in layers according to their density when you mix them? And cocktails  how can they even exist?


  2. yes

  3. stop listening to hysterical liberal lies.the ozone layer was never a problem.get some real info on global warming at http://globalwarmingheartland.org

  4. NO not as long as china continuous to sell and use CFCs

    if china keeps selling CFCs how can we believe that they will do anything about the CO2 that causes global warming.

    they signed the CFC treaty but do nothing but sell more CFCs

    there is no reason that they will do anything but increase there output of CO2 even if they sign a CO2 treaty.

  5. The answer to your question is YES.

    But, while there is some relationship between the ozone layer and global warming, these are really two separate problems. The mass media and pop culture often confuses these two issues.

    Global warming is related to increasing amounts of greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc.), and holes in the ozone layer are caused primarily by CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons).

    “Holes” in the ozone are areas where the ozone layer has thinned, or has partially been depleted. CFCs are mainly released at northern latitudes--mostly from Europe, Russia, Japan, and North America. Once in the atmosphere, CFC’s reacts with sunlight and ozone molecules in such a way that the ozone breaks down. Ozone concentrations around the world have decreased, but the thinning has been most dramatic in the sky above the South Pole. A combination of specific weather conditions and CFC chemistry created this hole above Antarctica.

    The Montreal Protocol is a wonderful example of an international treaty designed to protect the environment. It went into effect on January 1, 1989. Due to its widespread adoption and implementation, the concentrations of the most significant ozone-depleting molecules have leveled off, or begun to decrease.

    This concept of ozone layer depletion was politically controversial in the 1990s but has broadly been accepted by the scientific community. Paul Crutzen, Mario Molina, and F. Sherwood Rowland were awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering the chemical mechanism that links CFCs to ozone depletion. The Montreal Protocol was negotiated under the auspices of the United Nations and is widely seen as a model for the Kyoto Protocol. The scientific basis of ozone depletion has been disputed by some global warming skeptics and related institutions, including Patrick Michaels, Steven Milloy, and Fred Singer (this is one more reason why these guys should not be taken seriously).

    Note to JOHNNIE B :

    Atmospheric gases are not sorted by weight; the forces of wind (turbulence) are strong enough to fully intermix gases throughout the turbosphere and the upper reaches the upper atmosphere. CFCs are heavier than air, but just like argon, krypton and other heavy gases with a long lifetime, they are uniformly distributed throughout the atmosphere.

  6. First what makes the Ozone layer??? It is made where the solar winds collide with the Earth's magnetic field. Very high up and the CFC and many other gases are too heavy to get there.

  7. h**l no but don't worry about it will be dead when global warming will be deadly
