Voices: Holes in the ozone



I read the story about the farmer taking his cows off corn and other grains to curb the burping from the cows in an effort to cut back on greenhouse gas. What’s next?

The government needs to step up and take the responsibility for their part in destroying the ozone and contributing to global warming. How many holes have been punched or burned in the ozone all in the name of research?

I have yet to see how the space missions have improved our lives. We still have millions worldwide starving and in need of medical treatment.

The thrust of the rockets has surely had an effect on the axis of the Earth. That would explain the drastic change in weather that we are experiencing in all parts of the country. After each launch it was inevitable a weather emergency would develop. Now it is a constant threat with the atmospheric damage.

It is becoming more and more difficult to recognize the seasons. The emissions from the giant engines and fuel on the rockets must be tremendous compared to other man-made devices that contribute to the greenhouse effect.
