Vanishing Ozone

Posted November 01, 2007 8:10 AM

Inconvenient, but true: stratospheric ozone is being depleted over Antarctica. Monitor the status of the ozone layer over the South Pole by checking in with the NASA Ozone Hole Watch, which uses satellite imagery to post daily maps and animations of ozone loss trends since 1979.

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Environmental Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Environmental Technology today.

It is so very reassuring to know that NASA is monitoring the hole in the ozone over the south pole. I wonder if they could add information about their own pollution of the stratosphere? The thousands of tons of solid rocket fuel dispersed by launches could not have any detrimental effect on the ozone? if so it would not be mentioned. The report mentions chlorine and bromine every other sentence. I feel we are being fed a considerable amount of propaganda on the subject. There is considerable corporate wealth to be created here. Why is the north pole never mentioned?

I thought the northern hemisphere produced all the pollution?

The sun produces the ozone layer and the sun has been changing its radiation habits over the last few years which is causing climate change. we would like to hear the truth ,the whole truth and nothing but the truth. we will not get it from our corporate controlled leaders or NASA.
