People become afraid because of the hyperventilation from the media and environmental groups. Groups such as these claim how that ozone levels reduce year by year, month by month, day by day (Haimson). The believing and overall ignorant population believe all of it as if it were fact. Just like blind sheep following blind guides. Much to the dismay of these same groups of scientists now see that human kind cannot possibly hurt let alone destroy the ozone layer. In fact the very same scientist who invented the instrument used to measure ozone believes the threat of depletion is exaggerated(Singer)! Other scientists say how a super nova 340,000 years ago disrupted ten to twenty percent of the ozone layer(Limbaugh-178). A SUPER NOVA only disrupted twenty percent! How can humans compare with such an awesome and great a force? The human rac! .
e has become so caught up in how great and powerful the human population think they have become that they cannot see how truly minuscule they really are. Just think how much force it would take to put a hole in the ozone, or eliminate it one hundred percent in certain areas, if a super nova only depleted it twenty percent. Some scientist stress this point to argue how holes in the ozone never really exist. They claim instead that the ozone only thins from its peak from time to time(Howard). Even this claim sounds like a natural phenomenon just like an ocean tide, perhaps. No one has revealed, in fact, any evidence that long term global ozone levels decline(Bidinotto). The Gallup Poll of February 1992 polled climateologists and atmospheric physicists and found that seventeen percent say they believe the ozone hole is real while eighty-three percent disagree(Howard). Of course the news media would never report of such things, all too happy (and true). Derek Barton, a No! .
bel prize winning chemist once said "There's so much propaganda [around the ozone issue] that I just don't believe it(Begley-71).
