Actually, the initiatives taken to increase the ozone layer have had a marked
effect on increasing the ozone layer. *Remember, the first such activity was
begun in the 1970s when NASA had accumulated a history of photo documentation

I suspect that the various incremental shifts in regard to global warming
will
probably have a similar effect, but we may not see it for a number of years.

I'm reminded of when the witch doctors "caused" solar eclipses and then
were worship when they made them go away. At least they put on quite a
show. Now, we're told that there's too little ozone or too much carbon
dioxide (things we cannot even detect or observe on our own as ordinary
schlubbs) and then after we empty our pockets, we are told that all is
right once again. Some things never change, but I think the witch
doctors put on a better show.

"ScienceDaily (Jan. 26, 2010) — The hole in the ozone layer is now steadily
closing, but its repair could actually increase warming in the southern
hemisphere, according to scientists at the University of Leeds. [....]"

There. *Doing good is causing bad. *

Oh, I'm sure someone in government will figure out a way to get more out
of our pockets.
