Hi Peg. Given the suspect email revelations of some major climate scientists which they have evidently purposely destroyed, how can we know to what extent areosole cans have caused gaping holes in the Ozone layer?
the science of the CFC disaster is well and trully established fact. A ban was made of producing CFCs' in the 80's and over the past 2 decades the hole has slowly been closing up.
the problem with the CFC's was that when the particles were reaching the upper atmosphere, they disintergrated the ozone gas... the effects over australia has been widespread skin cancer...the highest rates of skin cancer in the world i believe...and the sun is extremely harsh. 10 minutes in the summer sun and you'll burn. Those effects are real and we feel it every day.
So, if one polutant can cause the ozone to be depleated, then surely we need to look at other polutants that we are using and not simply deny that they are going to do any damage.
