@jd And isn't the hole still sizable it just stopped growing?

[sh41@androiddev.social]

@jd unfortunately, climate change and stopping using fossil fuels had not received the same type of treatment

[countholdem@mastodon.social]

@jd Unfortunately, the CFC actions had a massive gap in the AMOC shipping lanes, and the consequential overheating of the critical heat sink in the region. Overlapping ecosystems are amassing tremendous losses due to eloquent solves, following the miscalculations.

[tragivictoria@mastodon.com.pl]

@crazyeddie @jd it's actually getting smaller. It's still big, yes, but getting better.

[halaana@mastodon.social]

@jd This is like the people that claim the Y2K bug was a non-issue. Not much happened because people did the work preventing it.

Some people just need to be repeatedly slapped in the face by reality until they accept something needs to be done about it.

@samk @jd you can blame fridges if you want, I remember though. I lived through the Bang Wars, I’ve seen forehead hair block out the sky. Clouds of Aqunet wafting down the hallway, building up on the bathroom mirror until you had to scrap it off with a razor blade. Then came the Hair Bands, you couldn’t tell where a lead singer stopped and a bassist began.

@jd

"Guy could have looked it up on #wikipedia but chose to ask the Internet a stupid question in the form of an accusation instead." Can we have a meme-word for that, please?

[iamdannyboling@mstdn.social]

@tealeg

Same here.
My response is always the same: I know because I was there.

@jd

@bouriquet

maga's will start selling cans of *only* CFCs, just for kicks.

@jd

[pattykimura@beige.party]

@jd Hey remember when Matt Walsh said that superstupid thing about the ozone hole disappearing on its own. Can we similarly fix that problem and eliminate dumb ignorant wind bags, too?

RE: https://ottawa.place/@jd/117173226717855970

@jd Recently learned that the Halley Research Station in Antarctica was instrumental in detecting the ozone hole.

I guess that answers the question of whether we should support research in Antarctica.

[ghostonthehalfshell@masto.ai]

@jd the depressing reality is ozone. Emissions are going up again. Nobody’s gonna talk about it because it’s all bunnies and butterflies with electrification or for the Maga crowd, clean, beautiful coal or some shit.

[jirpok@mastodon.social]

@jd Plus, that place has some top-notch #architecture.

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@jd The fact is that the original poster most probably didn't read the answer, didn't understand it, or both.

[wooshell@chaosfurs.social]

@IAmDannyBoling @bouriquet @jd As long as only they are snorting that stuff themselves, I'm fine with that. Then they can also soon experience what great idea killing subsidized healthcare was..

[lperry2@mastodon.social]

@jirpok @jd I've heard the same stupid comment about acid rain.

[ariaflame@masto.ai]

@kralcttam @jd Yes, but look what happened to him.

[ggmcbg@mstdn.plus]

@jd

Underpants gnomes like that bearded clam Matt Walsh believe that anytime something is fixed or cured, they've also had something taken away from them, because no one consulted them.

Giving weight to Matt Walsh's opinions and thoughts and views and musings and ponderings and ideas and determinations, about anything, is giving a Nazi an inch.

Walsh should be pissing and moaning in a bus station parking lot for spare change. Instead of a paycheck.

[kralcttam@mastodon.social]

@ariaflame @jd
Yes! Truly, Thomas Midgely Jr. is a bizarre tale.

[arajtav@oomfie.city]

@jd I hate it so much every time ever we avoided a major catastrophe because we noticed it before it was too late there are people saying stuff like this.
