How's the ozone layer doing? When I was a child they said that shit was a wrap
See, this is exactly why I ain't one for all that fear mongering from the posters on this site. I waited just to see who would take the bait and reply w/ them "oh, we fixed the ozone because we paid attention to it" shenanigans. The truth is that it wasn't that serious to begin with. Thankfully when they come w/ that "oh we banned the toxins nonsense", we got the authentic truth that's been documented. This is how you separate real from fake.
The international treaty to protect the ozone layer turns 20 this year. But is there really much reason to celebrate? Environmentalists have made numerous apocalyptic predictions over the past several decades, virtually none of which has come to pass. Yet each time, the greens and their...

Ozone: The Hole Truth
Such is the case with the 1987 Montreal Protocol On Substances That Deplete The Ozone Layer (Montreal Protocol). The lurid predictions of ozone depletion-induced skin cancer epidemics, ecosystem destruction and others haven't come true
, for which Montreal Protocol proponents congratulate themselves. But in retrospect, the evidence shows that ozone depletion was an exaggerated threat in the first place.
More importantly, the feared increase in ground level UVB radiation has also failed to materialize.
Keep in mind that ozone depletion, in and of itself, doesn't really harm human health or the environment. It's the concern that an eroded ozone layer will allow more of the sun's damaging UVB rays to reach the earth that led to the Montreal Protocol. But WMO concedes that no statistically significant long-term trends have been detected, noting earlier this year that "outside the polar regions, ozone depletion has been relatively small, hence, in many places, increases in UV due to this depletion are difficult to separate from the increases caused by other factors, such as changes in cloud and aerosol." In short, the impact of ozone depletion on UVB over populated regions is so small that it's hard to detect.
Phew! And how many other fear mongering tactics about climate change do these people on this website don't want us to know about? Because fear mongering, lies, and deception like this is how they thrive. Barely any of them would've came back and corrected that nonsense. They'll be back w/ more deception tho.
