Ozone Dissolve

The Ozone layer above the North Pole is degenerating, and it's not George Bush's fault.

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- Record low temperatures over the North Pole are thinning the protective ozone layer, a condition which could affect human health in northern countries and even central European nations, the European Union warned Monday.

"Large ozone losses are expected to occur if the cold conditions persist," said European Commissioner for Science and Research Janez Potocnik.

He said the first signs of ozone loss have been observed after an extremely harsh winter above the Arctic.

Now let's review, folks. They're blaming this reduction on a record cold winter (note: not CFCs, which basically don't exist anymore), and the two major Ozone depletions are where? Above the two coldest parts of the planet: the North and South Poles. And yet it's the industrialization and emissions of the world that are supposed to be causing it?

If you ask me, and your accessing of this page implies that you are, this is just further proof that the "global warming" hype is just that: hype.
