The Ozone Hole

The hole in the ozone layer is a perfect example of scientists disregarding science to push their agenda through. First of all, it is extremely likely that the ozone hole has always been there. We simply recently found it and decided that it was a global crisis. It is only there for a few months of the year, and has not been studied long enough to know if it is growing. It is also over Antarctica, and has never posed a significant threat to anyone. Clearly, the most bogus claim is that the hole in the ozone layer caused global warming. Now you may have seen, that there are now some articles coming out that say that a study was done by astute scientists who think that it might be possible that after all this time, the hole actually counter-acts global warming. We didn't need a study that probably cost thousands of dollars to tell us that. Any 7th grader using simple logic could have told you that. Think about it... Mercury, is the closest planet to the sun. Venus is the next closest. Even though this is true, Venus is hotter than Mercury. Why? Because Venus has an atmosphere, while Mercury does not. In other words, the less atmosphere there is, the colder it will be. Scientists have known this for at least a hundred year, yet the scientist that made this claim was awarded a Nobel prize, and praised for his obviously faulty discovery. Now maybe this just slipped through the system, and nobody noticed it. I might still be willing to forgive this honest mistake if the result hadn't been thousands of innocent people's deaths. After this claim was made, CFCs were banned. CFCs create a protection for carbon which shoots up into the Antarctic atmosphere with the polar blast. The CFCs protect the carbon until it is in the atmosphere and the carbon destroys the ozone. CFCs were also the cheapest, and most efficient way to cool things in refrigerators and air conditioners. After CFCs were banned, companies had to come up with a different way to accomplish this goal (see my other blog for more on what I think of government doing things like this). This way was much more expensive, and as a result, thousands of people in third world countries died, and still feel the effects today. No one has ever been killed by the hole in the ozone layer, but scientists claimed that the ozone hole (which if you'll remember has most likely always been there) was a crisis that could end up in the destruction of the entire world. These scientists are treated like heroes, even though their actions and propaganda resulted in the death of thousands of people. This is what science has become. A field where people will push their agenda no matter what the result. They disregard any theory that does not conform with their belief, and hide evidence that contradicts them. It's funny, because after doing all of this, they accuse others of doing the same thing. They tell people who do not conform with their beliefs that there biases are anti-educational, and not welcome in such an important field. Scientists are supposed to examine the data, and draw unbiased conclusions. Now everyone has a bias, no matter what they tell, you. I already told you at the beginning that I had one, and I also said that the ozone hole probably has always been there based on my bias. No one can stop themselves from being biased, even in science, but that doesn't mean that you refuse to let others refute your views.
