Are we being conned (again)

It seems that you have a propensity to accept conspiracy theories that I lack - perhaps its genetic. I begin to think that we are not going to agree on much. Please note. All these itmes can be found on the internet. Google any sentence: One thing that happened last time re exploitation. The so called fluorocarbon used for refrigeration... Replaced by a more safe refrigerant that would help the ozone layer. The fact that DuPont's patent on this manufactured gas was about to run out was a coincidence of course. From Wikipedia The Ozone depletion layer has been increasing, or shown no sign of recovery of course. You didn't read the whole Wikipedia article, the recovery is not expected to take place for some time. " It is calculated that a CFC molecule takes an average of 15 years to go from the ground level up to the upper atmosphere, and it can stay there for about a century, destroying up to one hundred thousand ozone molecules during that time." but it is starting "Since 1981 the United Nations Environment Programme has sponsored a series of reports on scientific assessment of ozone depletion. The most recent is from 2007 where satellite measurements have shown the hole in the ozone layer is recovering and is now the smallest it has been for about a decade" The year 2008 saw the longest lasting hole on record, which remained until the end of December.[89] The hole was detected by scientists in 1985[90] and has tended to increase over the years of observation. The ozone hole is attributed to the emission of chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs into the atmosphere, which decompose the ozone into other gases From Duponts site DuPont led the industry in the phaseout of CFCs and transition to environmentally acceptable alternatives. At the time, DuPont estimated that more than $135 billion of existing equipment in the United States alone depended on CFCs. In January 1991, DuPont was the first company to launch a family of refrigerant alternatives that met performance, safety and environmental criteria and could be used in existing as well as new equipment, thus minimizing the transition cost to thousands of businesses and consumers around the world. The company invested more than $500 million to develop and commercialize CFC alternatives. CFCs accounted for less than 2 percent of the company's revenues. Not from their site, based on suspicion...There is considerable evidence that the ban on R -12 is based on bogus information and Please tell me where to find the considerable evidence of the bogus information or who said that it existed. orchestrated by Dupont because their patent on Freon was running out. It's unlikely the decision will ever be reversed but it's just one more example of how big business is wagging the dog. It is odd to have DuPont accused of making it all up when they denied it was happening. Also from Wikipedia "The Rowland-Molina hypothesis was strongly disputed by representatives of the aerosol and halocarbon industries. The Chair of the Board of DuPont was quoted as saying that ozone depletion theory is "a science fiction tale...a load of rubbish...utter nonsense"." If the link between CFCs and ozone depletion were all phantom why did so many countries sign the Montreal agreement? Are you saying all their scientists were under the thumb of big business? Also from Wikipedia "At Montreal, the participants agreed to freeze production of CFCs at 1986 levels and to reduce production by 50% by 1999. After a series of scientific expeditions to the Antarctic produced convincing evidence that the ozone hole was indeed caused by chlorine and bromine from manmade organohalogens, the Montreal Protocol was strengthened at a 1990 meeting in London." As with the previous case I would be interested to know where you found this conspiracy theory. David |
