Chlorofluorocarbons and Ozone Depletion:
RUSH FICTION:
Limbaugh proposes that environmental "alarmists and prophets of
doom" have exaggerated the problem of ozone depletion,
suggesting that it has been limited to "occasional reduced levels of
ozone over Antarctica." 1/
SCIENTIFIC FACT:
Substantially reduced levels of ozone have been measured over
most of the globe, including North America, Europe, and elsewhere.
In fact, scientists have observed a thinning of the ozone layer at all
latitudes outside the tropics. By 1991, the depletion over North
America averaged nearly 5 percent. 2/ Since 1991, ozone depletion
has further intensified. 3/

This is what my source says about Ozone depletion.

Nobel Prize-winning chemist Sherwood Rowland and other researchers predicted last year the ozone hole would continue to grow through the first decade of the 21st century, followed by four or five decades of "healing." They said if the ban on CFCs holds, the ozone hole could close up by the end of the 21st century.

......and if you look furthur into it you will see that the Ozone situation did a 180 under Reagan's watch with his Montreal Protocol of 1987.
....which goes back to what Rush was saying that the Ozone issue is really a non issue that is in control and is getting better but that doesn't stop the left from scaring people into voting for them and blowing these issues way out of proportion.
Sorry, I didn't look into your source more.
