Okay, looked at your reference:
https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/meteorology/SH.html https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/meteorology/SH.html
There can see:
(1) Yes, there is ozone in the atmosphere
of the southern hemisphere, and the
concentration of the ozone varies with
month of the year and altitude.
(2) The ozone is created by ultraviolet
(UV) from the sun.
(3) Ozone converts back to oxygen via
2O3 --> 3O2
(4) When it is late summer, August, in the
northern hemisphere, it is late winter in
the southern hemisphere with some months
of much less sunlight, so little that many
days go 24 hours with no sunlight. Thus,
by August ozone has been converting back
to oxygen as usual; ozone creation has
been way down; and, no surprise, there is
an "ozone hole" over Antarctica.
(4) CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) do cause
destruction of some ozone. I see:
> Increased levels of human-produced gases
such as CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) have
led to increased rates of ozone
destruction, upsetting the natural balance
of ozone and leading to reduced
stratospheric ozone levels. These reduced
ozone levels have increased the amount of
harmful ultraviolet radiation reaching the
Earth’s surface.
All of this is just as I claimed.
And the reference does not answer the
crucial, central question I asked, "how
much", how many kilograms of CFCs are
destroying how many kilograms of ozone per
day and, thus, letting how many Watts of
UV radiation reach Antarctica, and what
are the effects in percent of ozone and UV
radiation?
So, that reference does not give credible
scientific data that CFCs destroying ozone
are a threat.
And there are hints in the text there that
my concern is appropriate, that is, ozone
concentration varies:
> Uh, and maybe what is the stochastic
process of ozone concentration considering
solar flairs, sun spots, the standard 11
year cycle of sun spots with or without
CFCs?
Thus, 100% of my claims are supported by
the reference, and, net, we are left with
no credible scientific evidence that CFCs
are a threat.
And the reference did not claim, as you
did, that the Nobel prize is good evidence
that the CFCs are a threat.
