Hi friends!!!
This is my first blog ever and would like to kick start by writing on the topic which everyone is aware off and on which most of us even talk but hardly anyone of us act upon. In the month of december I joined a short course on FLASH ANIMATION and now I am about to finish the course. As usual at the end of the course I was asked to submit a project to get a certificate in flash animation.
Me along with a couple of students started on the project and the topic we chose was GLOBAL WARMING. Yes, we went on with the scripting and the required research for the things to fall in place. We researched on the topic only to find the greed of humans and the consequences of it. I have enclosed an image which shows a circular dark blue colour (excluding the green colour) and this is nothing but the ozone hole formed above the atlantic region. This is what NASA scientists have to say as per www.nasa.gov " NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists report this year's ozone hole in the polar region of the Southern Hemisphere has broken records for area and depth.
The ozone layer acts to protect life on Earth by blocking harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. The "ozone hole" is a severe depletion of the ozone layer high above Antarctica. It is primarily caused by human-produced compounds that release chlorine and bromine gases in the stratosphere. "
And now the more surprising fact and should I say it with a huge smile on my face? Yes, the OZONE HOLE IS HEALING. Here is the proof from http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/topstory/20020926ozonehole.html...
UNUSUALLY SMALL ANTARCTIC OZONE HOLE THIS YEAR
ATTRIBUTED TO EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG STRATOSPHERIC WEATHER SYSTEMS

Scientists from NASA and the Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have confirmed the ozone hole over the Antarctic this September is not only much smaller than it was in 2000 and 2001, but has split into two separate "holes."
So, I have a reason to celebrite and I belive so do you have! What do you think, should we stop taking precautions since ozone hole is healing or should we continue what some of us have been doing to stop what must I quote "ABUSING OUR PLANET"? Write to me.
