Anyway - You are right natural effects will eventually overwhelm anything humans can do but that wasn't the issue.

The issue was that Fyron wrote - as it if were self-evident - that:

quote:

---

we just did not cause the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica. That was caused by massive volcanic eruptions.

Even your two links refute that myth.

Have you heard of the term hyperbole? Obviously that statement had its intended affect.

The only person that made an unequivical statement was Fyron. (I'll repeat what he wrote for effect)

quote:

What Fyron wrote seems unambiguous (even taken in the context that it was written) - at least to me.

Even Fyron's links don't make the assertions that Volcanoes cause the hole in ozone layer. All they suggest is that Volcanoes made the hole worse not that they were the cause of the hole.

If Fyron wants we can continue to argue the meaning of words, the sources of links, the politics of the posters or the appropriateness of the Posts. It certainly won't be a debate about Ozone depletion.

I fail to see how responding to Roanan's statements has degenerated anything into a debate of semantics. I see no debate of semantics in this thread. Very few Posts I make have anything to do with semantics. On occasion it is necessary to clarify terms used when they get misinterpreted, but that is hardly a "degeneration into semantics." Since you are looking for a scapegoat, Roanan is the one that called links into question, you (Rex) are the on that brought politics into this. Don't blame me for what others have said. I was fine discussing ozone depletion. You two veered the discussion away from that.
