   “His best-known work was the discovery that chlorofluorocarbons contribute to ozone depletion.”

   You don’t say…

     Once again an example of not having enough data to make accurate conclusions. It’s just a shame that McIntyre wasn’t debunking this junk science at the time.

   There is an extreme concentration of CO2, and thus CAGW, in Washington DC.
   Look for the extinction event to commence there.
   All of a sudden, Rowland’s prediction doesn’t seem such a bad thing……….

   Nobelist Sherwood Rowland apparently was not aware that the greenhouse effect *has* been going on for as long as the planet has had surface water.

   The same 1986 article also has this tidbit- “The scientists said they did not know why extreme signs of ozone depletion are first appearing in the Antarctica.”

   That’s quite the admission from the guy who received a Nobel prize for the claimed CFC-induced ozone depletion, that formed the scientific basis for the Montreal Protocol, signed a year later.

   We don’t understand it, but “the connection is inescapable.” Remarkable.

   Also, they state that Ocean City, MD will lose 85 feet of shoreline by 2011 due to a sea level rise of about 0.85 feet, or 259 mm. That is a predicted average sea level rise of 10.4 mm/yr.

   What has happened at Ocean City, MD? Who knows. The NOAA tide gauge there is a shambolic mess.
