Are you ready for the war on dichloromethane?


Even the other environmentalists are sneering at them with faint praise: "quite important".


Just follow the funding, which usually follows things that are "quite
important".

NASA who? I wish them luck. The more false prophets there are, with
the more scare stories tripping over each other, the more bruised
egos in that community, and the greater the growth of disbelief in
scientism among the taxpayers.


Few will agree with a science that produces results against their best
interests or cherished biases. However, they will follow false
profits errr... prophets, when the cause is just and politically
correct, often against their instincts and best interests.

Most of these trashy clowns seeking notoriety all the better to
sink their snouts into the public trough now realize that global
warming is dead (laugh at how they're trying to morph it into
"sudden climate change") and that they need a new "cause" to
have any impact on policy, which is the end aim.


Morphing "global warming" into "climate change" was inspired by a
presidential advisor (who's name I can't seem to recall) that adviced
the Republican party to change terms so that it would appear to be
less threatening. This was done and "global warming" disappeared from
the Republican vocabulary.

As for funding, climate change research is big money and climbing:
https://www.gao.gov/key_issues/climate_change_funding_management/issue_summary
"Federal funding for climate change research, technology,
international assistance, and adaptation has increased
from $2.4 billion in 1993 to $11.6 billion in 2014, with
an additional $26.1 billion for climate change programs
and activities provided by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act in 2009."

Show me that hole in the ozone layer. I'm asking for the 2137th time.


Well, the NASA site shows the decrease in ozone concentration in parts
of the southern hemisphere. NASA Ozone Watch:

Australia seems to consider UV exposure a problem:

"Sat tracking of ultraviolet light shows increase since 1979"

Melanoma (UV responsible for skin cancer) in Australia is high and was
on the rise until recently. At the same time, non-melanoma skin
cancer rates are flat:
