Junk scientist: “It appears we really did save the world in 1987”

Scientist speaks out after finding ‘record’ ozone hole over Canadian Arctic | News | National Post

“If the taxpayer in his infinite wisdom were to give me 10 times the budget I have now, I think I could use all that money quite usefully and do good science with it,” Tarasick said. “I don’t think we’re wasting a penny . . . Could we get by on less money? Well, we could do less with less money. We could do more with more money.”

Environment Canada measurements show that the hole over the Arctic resulted in somewhat lower ozone over most Canadians this summer, and UV levels about three to five per cent higher than what would be expected if there had not been a hole. But Tarasick assured Canadians that they should not have health concerns because of the recent ozone depletion.

“If we didn’t have the Montreal Protocol (signed in 1987) . . . we would have seen a rather permanent ozone hole, which would have flushed, in the spring, low levels of ozone to lower latitudes,” Tarasick explained. “It appears we really did save the world in 1987.”
