Default OT - Global Warming Explained

Gack! Ozone-hole-ism again already?

Ozone is the RESULT of UV being "blocked" by O2. A UV photon dissociates an
O2 molecule into two O atoms, which grab onto the nearest molecule, like
O2, which PRODUCES O3.

O3 isn't what "blocks UV" - O3 is the result of the UV being blocked by
plain ol' ordinary everyday oxygen.

But the teaching of actual science, or practically any facts at all,
went out the window when the unions took over the schools and turned
them into propaganda mills that teach nothing but "Self-Esteem" -
"Duh, I dunno how to add two and two, but I feel real good about myself,
yup, yup, yup, yup!"

Thanks,
