Eco-Tourism Is an Oxymoron!
Compare healthy smoking, environmentally-friendly SUVs, safe malignant cancer…
Eco-tourism is growing at a phenomenal rate stressing the environment, damaging fragile ecosystems and destroying endangered species. Eco-tourism is the gang-rape of the environment under the “green” flag.
Basic ecological facts:
1. Human activities degrade ecosystems.
2. Intensive human activities destroy ecosystems.
3. After warfare, tourism [euphemistically referred to as eco-tourism,] is the most destructive human activity. ~ EDRO

White Elephant Update:
Fire Earth has made several attempts to contact NASA to find out why they are doctoring the Antarctic ozone hole data. NASA has not responded.
There is a general consensus of opinion among the Fire Earth contributing members concerning the reasons why NASA is doctoring the ozone hole data. Here are some answers to the 64 billion dollar question why the white elephant is misbehaving:
1. White House has ordered NASA to doctor the Data. NASA is under immense political pressure to assure the world community that all is well [sic], everything is under control [sic] and there is no longer any need to worry about the ozone hole [despite all evidence to the contrary!]
2. The ozone hole phenomenon is bad news for corporate business. It flies directly in the face of technology and technological “achievements.”
3. The ozone hole is a huge burden, an undesirable “cost” that NASA and the Government won’t internalize. [Therefore it's being swept under the rug.]
4. NASA would put itself in a bad light if it continues to report the bad news, which is getting even worse.
5. If you can’t fix it, don’t bloody well talk about it.
6. NASA is under enormous pressure to prove Montreal Protocol has been “a resounding success,” despite the fact that Antarctic ozone hole is enlarging!
7. NASA is suppressing the Antarctic ozone hole data at the behest of the Australian and New Zealand governments [and others] for political, monetary and socioeconomic reasons.
8. Hiding behind lies, disinformation and abstractions.
9. Other additional reasons.

NASA Continues Doctoring Antarctic Ozone Hole Data
NASA has now re-doctored its Antarctic ozone level for September 15, 2007 (see the new graph below, which was posted on NASA Ozone Hole Watch on Sept. 19, 2007 and compare it with their previous graph posted here yesterday). The doctored and re-doctored data serve to obfuscate the overall size and development of the Antarctic ozone hole.

The Fire-Earth estimate for the area covered by the Antarctic ozone hole on September 16, 2007 is 28.5 million km2 (NASA’s figure is 24 million km2). This means the size of the Antarctic ozone hole was increasing on September 16, 2007 rather than decreasing as indicated by NASA.
Conclusion
The Antarctic ozone hole on September 16, 2007 covered an estimated area of 28.5 million km2 (about 19% larger than the doctored data released by NASA) and was growing. The largest ozone hole ever reported by NASA covered an area of 26 million km2 on September 24, 2006.

NASA re-doctored data (again!) after they were exposed by Fire Earth yesterday!
(See previous posts.)

NASA’s minimum ozone figure of 173 DU (Dobson Units) for September 15 (see updated graph above) remains wildly inaccurate and misleading. Fire Earth estimate for the minimum ozone on September 15 is in the range of 95-105 DU.
The minimum stratospheric temperature, which is marked at 183K, may have been doctored to account for the sudden rise in the minimum ozone on September 15.
NASA is under enormous pressure to prove Montreal Protocol has been “a resounding success,” despite the fact that the Antarctic ozone hole keeps on growing!
“The goal now is to ensure that CFCs and other emissions continue to fall to below the levels that produce an ozone hole,” said Goddard’s Anne Douglass, the deputy project scientist for Aura. “This won’t happen until about 2070.”
The taxpayers and their representatives (as if they had anything to do with anything) are reminded that at least 95% of all NASA ’scientific’ activities could be carried out accurately, honestly and responsibly at a fraction of their enormous current budget (and without involving Google.com).
