    This post was modded "Flamebait?" Is this because the majority of moderators are enviornmental hippies? Guess so. As for me, I'm glad to see *some* people on here don't jump on the Greenpeace bandwagon and start sinking tanker ships. The cow comment is 100% true. Also true is that the hole in the ozone layer has always been present and is predicted by NASA scientists to actually start closing over the next few hundred years. Even with all of these evil fossil fuels being consumed. The horror! The humanity!!

    About 10 years ago there was a shuttle mission intended to study the growing hole in the ozone. the mission came back with results directly contradicting what all of the tree hugging drones were crying about. If I find an URL regarding this I'll post it. What was funny is the tree hugging masses were all crowing about the mission but when the shuttle came back the story was dropped like it was hot!
