#1 It was discovered in 1956, and in 1958 they'd figured out what caused it. Ozone is made through the interaction of sunlight in the upper atmosphere, so in places where you only get sunlight 6 months of the year, you don't get much ozone creation. CFC's were not in widespread use in 1956 or 1958. Another natural event we attempt to take credit for.

#2 Somehow that will also be Trump's fault, for reducing the Ozone-hole deficit..... (or something)

#5 Can we now dispatch with this climate change nonsense? It is a scam by the left to part you from your money and redistribute your money into their pockets.

#6 To make up for this little bit of truth, Seattle has just passed a law that levies a $.24 /gallon tax on those that heat with oil.

Only oil.

All in the name of climate change.

If I lived in that sh!tstain, I would outfit my ride with a 50 gallon aux tank and buy my oil outside of town and pump it myself.

Or burn pallets for heat.

Maybe both.
