Unsupported opinion is indictutive of a weak mind afraid to search for real information. The links I trotted out just happened to be from real scientists, not the faux ones we have on this board.

Old Crock, I did not read your links, did you win the argument.
At least that is what this group of scientists say. Evidently there is far more evidence to support the theory that Cosmic Rays are the actual culprit. Don't tell Chris

You are an oil industry troll.
All your posts are about global warming or the oil industry.

Uhhhh so was the link I provided doofus! Yours are however, old.

Getting senile, Walleyes? Note that the article refers to the one that you posted in past tense.
And there was no major decrease in the ozone in 2009.

Do cosmic rays destroy the ozone layer?
Mar 26, 2009 1 comment
New data gathered from satellites and ground-based stations support the idea that much of the destruction of Antarctic ozone involves the action of cosmic rays, says a physicist in Canada. This goes against the widely-accepted notion that the ozone layer which shields Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation is depleted via the action of direct sunlight.
Qing-Bin Lu of the University of Waterloo also predicts, given the timing of the 11year cosmic-ray cycle, that the ozone hole will be particularly large in 200809 and 20192020 (Phys Rev Lett 102 118501 ).

From July 14 to 16, 2000, the surface of the sun exploded. Huge, bright flares spewed out into space like powerful fountains colorfully lit from beneath. Within a few hours, the solar storm bombarded Earth with a shower of positively-charged hydrogen atoms, called protons, causing scientific and communications satellites to short-circuit. Through a series of chemical reactions in our atmosphere, the protons drastically diminished the upper-most areas of the ozone layer, a protective blanket mostly in the stratosphere that blocks life-threatening ultraviolet radiation from reaching the Earth. This shower of protons, known by solar science insiders as the Bastille Day event, was the third largest of its kind in the last 30 years.
For more information, movies, and high-resolution images visit ISTP Sun-Earth Connection Event, July 14–16, 2000, and Hot Shots from SOHO, July 14, 2000.
Atmospheric scientist Charles Jackman and a team of researchers from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and Hampton University in Virginia recognized a rare opportunity to gather further proof that solar storms destroy ozone. They already knew that when protons bombard the upper atmosphere, they break up molecules of gases like nitrogen and water vapor. Once freed, those products readily react with ozone molecules and reduce the ozone layer. So, Jackman and his colleagues recalled specific Northern Hemisphere atmospheric data from NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites that continuously monitor the composition of gases and molecules that surround our planet.
Their findings, published in the August 1, 2001, issue of Geophysical Research Letters, show that less than one percent of total atmospheric ozone in the Northern Hemisphere can be quickly reduced by one of these events. “It is an indication of the power of the sun to actually affect the atmosphere in a sudden, cataclysmic way,” Jackman says. While the results do not show a significant impact on human health, especially considering that most of the ozone loss documented in this study occurs over the northern polar region, they are important scientifically. The study gives detailed and quantified knowledge of how a solar storm affects upper-level ozone. As scientists race to better understand humankind’s role in ozone loss, they must first be able to tease out the natural causes.

A twenty year study that culminated in a Nobel Prize in Chemistry seems to be a pretty good indicator that these people had something right.
NOBEL PRIZE TO OZONE RESEARCHERS
STOCKHOLM, Sweden- Three noted chemistry researchers have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for atmospheric studies which led to an understanding of how the ozone layer forms and decomposes. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences praised the researchers' contribution "to our salvation from a global environmental problem that could have catastrophic consequences."
The one million dollar prize will be shared by F. Sherwood Rowland, Bren Professor of Chemistry, UC Irvine; Mario Molina, who currently is a member of the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and Paul Crutzen, a professor at Max-Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany and adjunct professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.
The award culminates 20 years of study on the ozone layer by the researchers. The three winners of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry are the first ever to receive the award for atmospheric chemistry or environmental science.
