Re: Bah! (4 David Nash)
"But at least the Freon is up there out of harm's way, rather than in our atmosphere enabling ozone depletion."
It occurs to me that the Ozone depletion we see could be caused by the Earth sweeping
through this sea of Freon we once called the "vacuum of space", it's ozone fizzing away in an ablative reactive scream that no-one can hear (because, space, right?). Confronted with the gigaliters of Freon lounging about in the Earth's orbital path, the odd squirt from one's window air-conditioner seems trivial.
Scientists need to start addressing these conundrums:
a) Maybe the reason space has no ozone in it is due to all the Freon there.
2) Maybe that's why space is so cold.
