Quote:Of course we would... that would involve killing off most to the human race and the animals we raise and stopping all industry, down to cooking fires. That whole breathing and decomposition thing makes CO2. Of course the damage would be considered 'unfixable', as the big fix proved useless. However lacking any means to check it it would be irrelevant anyway.
In fact, I would wager that if we managed to cut CO2 emitions by 99% over the next decade, that people would stop saying we have to cut CO2 emitions due to global warming. Imagine that!
The other side is that it could be clear proof that CFCs were either not the problem or that the problem is people jumping the gun on conclusions. As I have said repeatedly, it was 12 minutes after people looked at the first orbital photos that the holes in the Ozone were mankinds fault. I believe the previous Manmade environmental Apoc was Global cooling at that point.
If I entertain the possession that this was a manmade Ozone Holes, my solution is simple. If making Ozone destroying chemicals caused the problem... the solution is to make the opposite happen.
If this means creating factories that suck in air and make Ozone out of CO2 and water vapor, we do that and we kill two problems at the same time. Make Blimps into these factories, that we can send to the trouble spots. Alternately, if we can make chemicals that cause Ozone to be created in the atmosphere, we do that.
Though those chemicals seem to add up to smog. CA has Ozone alerts from smog making Ozone. Which means the issue is that we are destroying the Ozone Layer not with CFCs. The solution then is we need to repeal the air pollution laws as they are causing the Ozone Holes to get worse at this point and only keeping more people alive to screw up the environment.
This has been the main problem I have with environmentalists... they want to punish people/nations/companies yet fail to have solutions to the problems. Problems that are usually proven with fuzzy math and bizarre or convoluted explanations, that come down to finger pointing and punishments without solutions.
That I can come up with a possible solution and they can't is even worse. More research is needed... but into what? This kind of thing is why I feel there are two types of people that deal specifically with the environment. Environmentalists and Environmental scientists. One makes laws and the other knows what they are talking about.
Basically, if we are running out of Ozone for the Ozone layer make more.
