This very well written book completely shreds the ozone depletion hoax to pieces. The references used to make their case are extensive. The main problem with the ozone hoaxsters, is not what they tell us. It's what they are NOT telling us. For example, they will show you a graph that indicates that the ozone is thinning. But the graph will only cover a small time period. What they don't tell you, is that if you go back a few more years, say, to 1959, the graph will show that the ozone is thickening. This is where Al Gore learned his propaganda techniques. You will learn chapter by chapter, what the ozone hoaxsters DO NOT want you to know. And guess what? Mother Nature turns out to be the biggest chlorine emitter! I love this book.

This review is from: The Holes in the Ozone Scare: The Scientific Evidence That the Sky Isn't Falling (Paperback)

Having learnt about the 'Ozone Hole' and the Montreal protocol some years ago I had swallowed the story that CFCs were causing this phenomenon and that CFCs had to be removed otherwise we were "off to Hell in a hand-basket" (or words to that effect). Now, in 2011 having read this book which was first published in 1992 (and I have an updated 1996 version) I was not the slightest bit surprised to find that the overall story was actually a precursor for the present "CO2 is causing global warming" fraud. Amongst the 'players' in the supposed "Ozone Hole" crisis was - surprise! surprise! - the then Senator Albert Gore claiming that it was causing, amongst other things, the spread of AIDS!

As it happens, I have read a great deal about the history of the CO2 scare, in particular books by Christopher Booker and Ian Wishart which were a total revelation about pseudo-scientific scaremongering and financial and political manipulations by various parties hell-bent on achieving their ideological objectives, and so when I read this book written years earlier about the supposed "Ozone Hole" crisis it was just deja vu. One only has to transpose or interchange the scares - "Ozone Hole" for "CO2 global warming" and its like playing exactly the same music but with a different orchestra.

This book exposes the pseudo-scientific chicanery, the 'snake-oil' salesman activities of those promoting the concept, the financial manipulations to a make a few very rich indeed (at the expense of the poor - of course) and, most importantly, the funding up of a number of the 'environmental' movements and the infiltration of educational establishments with quasi-religious 'environmentalism' in order to create a wonderful mechanism for future propaganda. The late unlamented Herr Doktor Josef Goebbels would have been delighted.

This book shows up to perfection just how successful is "The Big Lie" technique, and how this can capture the minds of so many of Lenin's "useful idiots".

So, even though it was written some 20 years ago, it is totally relevant to the present-day campaign to 'save the planet' from the supposed 'pollution' of CO2. exactly the same type of alarmism is being promoted now as was the case about the "Ozone Hole". Thus we see today's 'environmentalism' being used in the same way: deprive the poor and disadvantaged of the very things that can not only lift them out of poverty but also achieve that most necessary of objectives: through education and an improve standard living the corollary of a reduced birth rate, thus REALLY saving the planet from an exploding and increasingly desperate and thus exploitative population relying on primitive and destructive methods merely to survive.

And by the way, GENUINE research showing that this phenomenon is not only seasonal but also subject to solar cycles was first carried out in the 1930s. That this was covered up years later is nothing short of scandalous. Criminal is probably a better word.
