yeah, I missed the part where the EPA went for political control because the only mention of how that happened is simply you saying it happened. Unfortunatly theres no part for me to see. If you'd like to link to anything or quote anything to back that up maybe the picture would be clearer.
You really are out to lunch... permanently..
Were back to models again, ones that can not depict reality in any form.Nor is the CFC-ozone theory itself in good shape. Over the years, its predictions for long-term, global ozone depletion have varied widely; during the early eighties the National Academy of Sciences published values that gradually decreased from 18% down to 3%. Since the discovery of the ozone hole, there have been no further quantitative predictions published because it was recognized that the existing theory could not cope with the heterogeneous destruction processes that depended more on particulate surface area than on the level of chlorine (25,26).
The theory could not describe ozone variations caused by the (heterogeneous) reactions on particulates (volcanic debris, aerosols, etc.) in the lower stratosphere and therefore was not able to predict the Antarctic ozone hole.. In the upper stratosphere, where only gas-phase (homogeneous) reactions take place, the theory predicts larger changes than are actually observed (27).
