The scam is what activists are saying we need to do to "fix" it.
Basically, what ever their agenda was 30 years ago is now revived to
stop global warming. (higher gas taxes, stop eating meat. ban cars,
ZPG or whatever)

You mean like not using Freon? That actually worked, and the ozone hole has
been greatly reduced. FYI, a woman's effort.

What nobody says is they made more freon after the "ban" than they had
before it. China never stopped and they made close to a billion R-12
(the worst stuff) refrigerators after the ban. Mexico was still
selling R-12 for many years after the ban (and probably still are)
A few years ago I read an article about the gray market in it.
You can still get R-22 but the end of US manufacture is this year I
believe.

A rational person who actually understands how much freon was made and
released would have to say that ozone hole was a natural cycle that
cycled the other way ... all by itself.

Cite?

Which part?
That China and India are still making massive amounts of R-12?
Go look yourself. There are dozens of articles about it.

The US is still making R-22 and will be allowed to until 2020.
They can even manufacture new R-22 systems until 2020, as long as the
freon in them is recycled but they can still make new freon for
servicing existing systems.
Jan 1, 2010 is the deadline for new systems with new freon tho.

How can anyone say how well "it" (the ban) is working when "it" never
happened?

Some just read with a skewed filter and ignore anything that does not
fit their preconceived notions..
