The phasing out of nearly 100 substances once used in products like refrigerators and aerosols has stopped the ozone layer being depleted further, although it is not yet increasing, according to a new United Nations report released last week.
Temperatures are plummeting in time for them to congratulate themselves on successfully "reducing carbon emissions." This self-styled "success" will spur them on to increase the draconian measures until millions, if not billions more, are starving and freezing to death.
The models used to produce these results are entirely self-referencing; very little empirical measurements taken from the real world are actually used in the production of these reports, which are thinly disguised policy documents masquerading as scientific discovery.
And it claimed that international efforts to protect the ozone layer has averted millions of cases of skin cancer worldwide.
The ozone layer outside the polar regions is projected to recover to pre-1980 levels by 2048, although the annual springtime ozone hole over the Antarctic is not expected to recover until 2073.
Ozone in the stratosphere is important because it absorbs some of the Sun's dangerous ultraviolet radiation.

UPDATE:
State of emergency declared in Brasilia due to drought
September 21, 2010
An unprecedented drought has prompted the imposition of a state of emergency in Brazil's capital Brasilia. The last time it rained in the city 117 day ago.
This is the reason why wildfires have become more frequent in the region. A fire ravaged 10,000 hectares of vegetation in the National City Park last weekend.
The water level in the artificial Lake Paranoa has dropped to the permissible minimum.The city has acquired a different look because of burnt-out lawns and flowerbeds. The nearby farmsteads expect to reap only half their usual harvest size due to the lack of water.
