Imagine thinking that humans have anything to do with the thinning of the ozone layer, which is constantly shrinking and growing depending on the season. 🤦

@kemcolian2001 How do you know it can't happen naturally?

Volcanic emissions are the biggest threat to the ozone, not humans.

The ozone layer was thinner before CFCs were ever invented. Nice try though, climate scammers.

@kemcolian2001 A 1998 World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report said that, "since 1991, the linear [downward] trend observed during the 1980s has not continued, but rather total column ozone has been almost constant …" However, the same report noted that the stratospheric concentrations of the offending compounds were still INCREASING through 1998. This lends credence to the skeptical view, widely derided at the time of the Montreal Protocol, that natural variations better explain the fluctuations in the global ozone layer.

@kemcolian2001 Dupont's patent on Freon expired in 1979. They OPPOSED regulation until they had new patents for HCFCs in place by the mid 1980s. They didn't want to compete with all the new producers of CFCs, so they switched their position on the safety of CFCs and began to lobby Congress to ban them. If you think DuPont cares about the environment, you're delusional. Climate change alarmism is very similar. The companies that produce alternatives to fossil fuels are trying to stifle competition by forcing carbon taxes on their competitors. Politicians answer to their donors, not to environmentalists. If the donors want regulation, they will make up any excuse to shove it down our throats. Meanwhile, atmospheric CFC and HCFC concentrations continued to climb over the last 30 years, while the ozone layer recovered naturally.

@kemcolian2001 If you want data going back to the 1920's: Consult Fig. 3: Long-term total column ozone series. From the paper: Century-long column ozone records show that chemical and dynamical influences counteract each other. The whole concept of measuring the thickness of the ozone layer is absurd, since it fluctuates dramatically depending on the time of the year and a million other factors, including how much volcanic activity is taking place. Climate science is in its infancy, and that's why they can make up any fairy tales they want and cherry pick data to suit whatever agenda they're trying to push. If you want to worry about something, start with keeping pesticides and plastics out of the water supply. The ozone layer is completely irrelevant to anyone's life and completely uncorrelated to any human activity.
