Antarctica may heat up dramatically as ozone hole repairs, warn scientists
2nd December 2009
As blanket of ozone over southern pole seals up, temperatures on continent could soar by 3C, increasing sea level rise by 1.4m.
Oh, no! Are we going to see PSAs with penguins dropping from the skies, now?

The ozone hole was big news in the ’80’s and resulted in banning Freon (in various forms). (Much like with the current ‘global warming/carbon’ panic, the ban didn’t affect countries like China. Also like the current panic, the ozone hole was going to kill us all. Imagine my surprise when we didn’t die.) Nobody knew what caused the hole then, they still don’t know now. And – with astounding arrogance – world governments believe that they’ve ‘fixed’ the hole.
Maybe what those of us who are scientists should do is copyright the word, “science”. Then we could sue the MSM and keep them from misusing the term for these pop-sci crises.
