WASHINGTON — The ozone layer has stopped shrinking, but it will take
\n decades to start recovering, US scientists reported yesterday.<\/p>\n

The specialists credited, at least in part, the 1987 Montreal Protocol,
\n which was ratified by more than 180 nations and set legally binding controls
\n on the production and consumption of ozone-depleting gases containing
\n chlorine and bromine.<\/p>\n

And they say we bloggers never cover the good news! This
\n is actually pretty big news, if true, proving that international agreements

\n to the environment. We pray there is a carry over onto global warming,
\n before we all get washed off the map like New Orleans….<\/em><\/p>\n
