Hmmm... I find it interesting that you should cite Fred Singer, a notorious anti-environmentalist who has repeatedly received consulting fees from Exxon, Shell, Unocal, ARCO, and Sun Oil...

"The guy who invented the method of measuring the thickness of the ozone layer in 1930's took data in scatterred areas around the globe. His data showed a larger 'hole' than there is today (I thin this was in 1993)"
Actually, the hole in the ozone layer was discovered only in 1985. Do you have any references to back up your claim? Other than that, I agree with you that "We should have a society that is mature enough to do the right thing for the sake of it - not only in response to immediate danger". However, I don't think we live in such a society...
