Somebody should put these guys together with the ozone hole freaks -
maybe they'd average out. ;-P

Plenty of ozone is created in the upper atmosphere by UV striking oxygen
molecules, but high concentrations of chlorine up there will break it down
as fast as it forms.

So, tell me how chlorine, with a molecular weight of 71 (on average),
miraculously levitates to the top of a sea of oxygen, with its molecular
weight of 32, and nitrogen, with a molecular weight of 28?

Or better yet, Freon, which is so dense that it can be literally poured
from one container into another?


Which, of course, explains why the atmosphere has settled into layers of
Nitrogen, Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide amoungst others And of course
water never rises higher than sea level.


Water has a molecular weight of 18, of course it's going to rise. ;-)


A point, definitely a point. Yet somehow it falls back down again.
