Can you show us a link giving that information as
a scientific result? I didn't think so...
Here's a link:
http://www.al.noaa.gov/WWWHD/pubdocs...nt98/faq3.html
<>
Several pieces of evidence combine to establish human-produced halocarbons
as the primary source of stratospheric chlorine. First, measurements have
shown that the chlorinated species that rise to the stratosphere are
primarily manufactured compounds [mainly CFCs, carbon tetrachloride, methyl
chloroform, and the hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) substitutes for CFCs],
together with small amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and methyl chloride
(CH3Cl), which are partly natural in origin. Second, researchers have
measured nearly all known gases containing chlorine in the stratosphere.
They have found that the emissions of the human-produced halocarbons, plus
the much smaller contribution from natural sources, could account for all of
the stratospheric chlorine. Third, the increase in total stratospheric
chlorine measured between 1980 and 1998 corresponds to the known increases
in concentrations of human-produced halocarbons during that time.

Evidently *someone* has been measuring stratospheric
chlorine since the early '80s... I wonder how?

Before all these SMOG laws we in Los Angeles had tons of ozone.

*Dern* those pesky liberals and their stinkin' smog
laws!
Now, if you could coax the polar vortex to sit
over LA... you'd all get skin cancer before it
would help.
