so you're saying something was completely unnecessary (Montreal Protocol)....actually "improved" that was is 100% not broken and a natural phenomenon?
Are you trolling or are you genuinely this stupid? Even the article you linked to details the damage done by manmade CFCs.

Re: climate change /unpredictable weather/wind

These days, scientists understand a lot more about the ozone hole. They know that it’s a seasonal phenomenon that forms during Antarctica’s spring, when weather heats up and reactions between CFCs and ozone increase. As weather cools during Antarctic winter, the hole gradually recovers until next y...

Re: climate change /unpredictable weather/wind

You have not given one ounce of proof of climate change. Just your personal observations and what you have seen on the telly. Sorry, but when you're going up against the vast scientific consensus on an issue, the onus is on you to provide the facts. That's a comprehensive case you need to provide, ...

Re: We pumped a kite with Helium - any difference?

The world's supply of helium is limited and we are currently facing shortages. Instead of putting a part of what reserves we have left to good use (such as MRI machines), these people chose to fill a kite with it and give it to a bunch of beginners to see if they can feel a difference. What a bloody...
