THE LARGE OZONE HOLE OF 2021 IT IS REPORTED THAT THE 2021 OZONE HOLE IS 24 MILLION SQUARE KM AND THAT THIS EXRAORDINARILY LARGE SIZE IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT.LINK TO SOURCE: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/16/larger-than-usual-ozone-layer-hole-bigger-than-antarctica CRITICAL COMMENTARY THE ROWLAND MOLINA THEORY OF OZONE DEPLETION IS THAT OUR CFC EMISSIONS ARE INERT AND THAT THEREFORE THEY ARE LIKELY TO HANG AROUND IN THE ATMOSPHERE FOR UP TO A HUNDRED YEARS – LONG ENOUGH FOR THEM TO BE TRANSPORTED BY RANDOM MOLECULAR MOTION TO THE STRATOSPHERE AND THAT ONCE THERE THEY WILL CAUSE A GRADUAL LONG TERM DECLINE IN GLOBAL MEAN TOTAL COLUMN OZONE THE REASON WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IT IS THAT THE PREDICTED LOW LEVELS OF GLOBAL STRATOSPHERIC OZONE WILL CAUSE PEOPLE AND ANIMALS THE WORLD OVER TO BE EXPOSED TO HARMFUL ULTRVIOLET RADIATION. THIS IS THE OZONE DEPLETION ISSUE. HOWEVER, AS SHOWN IN RELATED POSTS ON THIS SITE: LINK: https://tambonthongchai.com/2021/03/31/list-of-posts-on-ozone-depletion/ , NO EVIDENCE EXISTS FOR THE PREDICTED GRADUAL LONG TERM DECLINE IN GLOBAL MEAN TOTAL COLUMN OZONE. THIS ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE EXPOSES THE THEORY OF ANTHROPOGENIC OZONE DEPLETION AS A FALSEHOOD BECAUSE OF THE ABSENCE OF EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE TO VALIDATE THE THEORY PROPOSED. THAT THERE ARE PERIODIC LOW OZONE LEVELS OVER THE SOUTH POLE AT ANNUAL TIME SCALES IS A PHENOMENON THAT IS NEITHER GLOBAL NOR LONG TERM AND THEREFORE THESE EVENTS ARE UNRELATED TO THE THEORY OF OZONE DEPLETION BY CFC AND COULD NOT POSSIBLY CAUSE THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF LOW OZONE LEVELS GLOBALLY OVER LONG TIME SPANS. WHAT IS CALLED THE OZONE HOLE IS AN INTERESTING FEATURE OF THE OZONE LAYER THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE KNOWN VARIABILITY OF THE BREWER DOBSON CIRCULATION THAT DISTRIBUTES OZONE FROM THE TROPICS (THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THEY FORM) TO THE HIGHER LATITUDES (WHERE THEY DON’T FORM AND WHERE THEY CAN GET TO ONLY IF THE BREWER DOBSON CIRCULATION TAKES THEM THERE. SHORT TERM AND LOCALIZED CHANGES IN OZONE LEVEL OVER THE SOUTH POLE HAS NO INTERPRETATION IN TERMS OF THE ROWLAND MOLINA THEORY OF OZONE DEPLETION. THE ONLY DATA THAT WOULD SERVE AS EVIDENCE OF THE ROWLAND MOLINA THEORY OF OZONE DEPLETION IS A LONG TERM DECLINE IN GLOBAL MEAN TOTAL COLUMN OZONE OVER ALL LATITUDES FROM CANADA TO AUSTRALIA. NO SUCH EVIDENCE HAS EVERY BEEN PRESENTED AND WE SHOW IN A RELATED POST THAT NO SUCH EVIDENCE EXISTS. LINK: https://tambonthongchai.com/2020/12/27/the-hole-in-the-sky/ THE USE OF THE LOCALIZED LOW OZONE EVENTS AS EVIDENCE OF ROWLAND MOLINA IS EITHER IGNORANCE OR A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO FOOL THE TAXPAYERS HAVING FAILED TO PRESENT EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF THE HIGH LEVEL OF ACTIVISM AGAINST OZONE DEPLETION. THERE SHOULD BE CRIMINAL CHARGES. RELATED POST ON GLOBAL OZONE DATA: LINK: https://tambonthongchai.com/2020/12/27/the-hole-in-the-sky/ November | 2020 | Thongchai Thailand
