Ozone Hole Getting Smaller
snark42 writes "According to Reuters and some other sources the hole in the ozone layer shrank 20% this year to a mere 9 million square miles. Of course scientists caution this would have to continue for at least a couple more years to be a trend or anything to get excited about."
at the very least, we'll have a lower instance of skin cancer among penguins, which tux appreciates.
I am reminded of a scene from Batman Returns when The Penguin says:
"Stop global warming. Start global cooling. Make the world a colder place!"
Maybe that's what's happening. The Penguin is taking over the world. Yay. We'll have Linux world domination yet!

It's because it's an election year. Once the year is over, the promises of more ozone will be broken.
Generally, it takes Aqua-net approximately 15 years to escape the earth's atmosphere. The residual Aqua-net from 1980's groups like the Cure and Poisen , as well as teenage girls, who are now fat 30-somethings, has escaped the stratosphere. So long as fashion trends to not revert to high bangs and glam-band hair... we will survive.
Ok, on to the next conspiracy...
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
I plan to fill all volcano craters with empty MacDonalds packets so that when a volcano starts to get hot the package melts and blocks the crater with molten plastic!!!
(well if you can talk bollox, so can I)
I love stacking my barbecues in the shed at the end of summer - you can't beat a bit of grill on grill action.
If he had signed the Kyoto Treaty, how much bigger would the ozone be now? I shudder to think about it...
Four more years!
It's OK! I'm a limo driver!
... russia only approved the Kyoto Protocol just yesterday!
This is my sig. There are thousands more, but this one is mine.
Highlander II already said this in 1991.
Everyone knows that college professors are liberals and liars (but I repeat myself) - don't believe anything you learn about the environment in college. Global Warming is a lie, ozone destruction by humans is a myth, dioxin is good for children and DDT makes breast milk taste like candy. Just figure out how his lie about volcanos fits into the liberal agenda (probably used to support gay marriage or something - fookin fagits) and you will realize you will not find any web site that suports this "science" taught by that commie "professor".
Oh, well that pretty much locks it up in everyone's mind. No further need for debate.
You get sunburned, so their must be a problem with the ozone layer.
10-20 years ago I stopped picking my nose (in public anyway), and now the hole is getting smaller. According to your logic, my public nose-picking caused the hole in the ozone layer.
