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.
That is because there are a *lot* of such people around.
