I thought, this problem is solved?

It's over the Antarctic, so who cares? Deranged greenies
going to fret over penguins getting skin cancer?

At the height of the scare, the absolute *worst* case
prediction of the destruction of the ozone laywer was an
increase in UV radiation that was the equivalent of moving from
Norway to the Mediterranean coast.

The same chicken-little kooks who wrote that have a ZERO
prediction accuracy rate over the last 50 years. Like oil
running out, mass starvation by 1980, etc. Shouldn't let
anthropologists and sociologists with degrees from left-wing,
second-tier universities dictate policies.

They've done very well at the only prediction that really matters:

"If I scare people with this fake prediction, I'll sell a lot of
copies of my book. And since nothing bad will happen, next year, I
can write another book and do it all again."


The bookshelves are weighted-down with quackery and ideas aimed at mediocre minds and worse, horribly gullible people.
