What ever happened to...

[FLTRI]

The hole in the ozone layer?

You remember, the one over Antarctica that got bigger each year. Freon was causing it to grow and it was going to spread. The penguins were all going to die, and it was going to give all of us skin cancer...

So where did it go? Did it heal? Did all the ozone finally get eaten up? Why don't we hear about it anymore? I mean it was a really big deal, if I remember correctly???

Didn't you hear???? Al Gore went up and patched it. :roflblack:

Someone called 'Ozones R us' and came out and fixed it. They have a big bucket truck.

And this huge roll of duct tape....or so I have been told

He done that right after he completed the internet.

Ah Yes......create the internet...then search the internet to see how to repair the ozone...diabolical!!!

He may be smarter than I originally thought.

Or maybe not!

Someone explain to this stupid engineer that I am how Refrigerant R-12, a substance whose molecular weight is much heavier than that of air can rise to the stratosphere and above against all rules of physics and chemically react with the ozone. Fill a baloon with R-12, and let it go (with the opening sealed, of course). It falls to the ground. Amazing. Just another example of bad science foisted upon a generally unknowing public.

Now you make to much sense here and if you let this out there will be no more helium filled ballons for the kiddies.


shhhhh dont tell Al this

and he got the nobel prize for it too

[bluvet79]

No no no you all got it wrong... Gore figured out that we are putting to much co2 into the atmosphere causing global warming. So it is pretty obvious that all that co2 plugged the hole in the ozone layer......
