For those who are inclined to believe the doom-mongers over global warming and how current rates of climate change [if true] are man-made rather than part of a natural cycle, may I remind them, not only of the 'ice age' faithfully promised over several decades, but also of good old CFCs in aerosol cans. Remember them? - They were going to destroy the ozone layer in the 80s and early 90s?We had a solid decade of warnings about that. The ozone layer was disappearing because we used deodorants - and people actually believed it!We were all going to cook and die of skin cancer.
Funny how after headlines for all those years, about 3 years ago I spotted a tiny 4 line column in one newspaper which stated that the ozone layer HAD CLOSED UP.
How many people were told this? How many know even now that it was all just a scare? How many still believe the outmoded propaganda? [OR possibly, of course, the cutting back was indeed a major triumph. I wonder why that 'success' was not trumpeted from the rooftops?]
The ozone layer thins and thickens periodically. Fact.
Global Warming has all the hallmarks of previous scares made by scientists and governments with an axe to grind.
When you 'cry wolf'....... One day we shall get a warning which is for real and most of us will ignore it!
