Global Warming Cause: The Sun is Burning Hotter

I predict within 50 years the global warming cult will be completely exposed as frauds and people will learn that the banning of products like Freon was completely unncessary....

Freon is a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) that destroys the ozone layer. and I'm pretty sure everyone is in agreement on that one.

I noticed that everyone at Dow Chemical was in agreement the day after their patent expired.

Everyone in agreement?????
No, I think the 'science' behind the banning of Freon was extremely shoddy. Politcal hysteria from the sky-is-falling environmental whackos was the main motivation for banning Freon. Ozone is HIGHLY unstable and it does not take much to break it down. Fortunately energy from the sun keeps a steady production of ozone available to maintain the ozone layer. I believe the reaction is 3 O2 + Sun's energy = 2 O3 (ozone).

As for the ozone hole over the South Pole. No one knows how long it has been there or whether the hole has ALWAYS existed. Since the earth's poles receive less of the sun's energy this is thought to be a factor for a ozone hole being located over the south pole. Also the south pole is primarily land why the north pole is primary water. Water holds a lot more energy so there is more potential energy in the north pole than the south pole. This could explain why there is not an ozone hole over the north pole.
