A simple 1% drop in Ozone leads to a 3-6% rise in skin cancer.

25% whereing sunscreen = 25% less skin cancer...skin cancer isnt the end of the world...plus 1% drop in ozone, how long does that take

Here's something. Every spring, a hole the size of Antartica opens up over the US and Europe. So the rest of the Ozone spreads out to fill the hole and balance out the difference.
I'd say fairly quickly, in response to your question. |

I honestly don't think our little ozone problem is going to be solved for a while. Seems like when we do something, in this case burn fossil fuels, we kind of get stuck in our ways. I'm all for fuel-cells, solar energy, geothermal energy, and all of the otherwise clean alternative energy sources, but until something is inCREDibly cheap and easy to obtain/maintain, nothin's gonna' happen.

the ozone is dieing
we are going to suffer from it however the sun will eventually grow so big it engulfs us and a meteor will kill us all and so on and so forth, something i will eliminate life on earth, not during all of our life times, but within a millenium... but by that time we will be enhabiting other planets....

Ok, throwing back to the very beginning, talking about the CHC in the atmosphere. I would think that if that were to be released in the atmosphere it would react differently than just plan C, because I wouldn't think it'd be able to form the same bonds, would it?

Live on pluto? It won't happen. Do you know how far away pluto is? 6,000,000,000 miles away from us
The suns not gonna get that big. Of course, we'd also have to develop a faster mode of travel. Currently, we might be able to go...what, 25000 mph in space with a space shuttle? it would take 25 years to get there(just guessing) We'd have to be traveling near the speed of light...it would then take about 10 hours to reach pluto. As for the ozone...were just screwing ourselfs over really. With the cutting of the rainforest, and the gasses being pumped into the atmosphere by big coorps that produce shit we can't live without, we're screwed. Yea...i'd say in 200 years we'll see why. Yea...were doing stuff to slow down the process, but I doubt it will be stopped. |

Well the problem is, the current generation is causing most of the problems, and they don't care that they're giving us a crap world to live in. They're not gonna be here when global warming starts getting serious. They're not gonna be here when, you know, the government starts rationing water or something. They need to stop being so damn selfish and full of themselves, and realize that there are other people on this world, too.

.03%, did you get that, its gonna take a hell of a long time for global warming to really start when our CO2 level is .03% right now

But makaveli, that .03 is a very carefully balanced equilibrium. .03 might be extremely high for what it normally is. Maybe once it gets to 1% there will be dire side effects. Listen, .03% sounds like very little, but with the hundreds of millions of gallons of atmosphere we have, its really quite a lot. And like I keep saying, once we deplete our rainforests, that level will rise dramatically.

and you may be forgetting
this might not affect all of us here now, but it will effect our future generations, our kids and grandkids, think of the future, and stop living in the past, we fucked up our ozone, well now lets fix it, stop cutting down the rainforests, stop releasing CFC's and lets make it so we can inhabit earth for generations to come.
