Arctic Ozone Depletion

1. There are reports that a large hole in the Arctic Ozone layer has formed this year.
2. The Ozone layer protects us from radiation - especially solar ultraviolet, but also from some cosmic radiation.
3. The Ozone is formed by the radiation itself acting upon the atmosphere's oxygen, changing it from the normal O2 version to Ozone's O3 arrangement.

Amidst the alarming stories of widespread exposure to high levels of UV radiation due to this event, the reporting does say that an unusual set of circumstances conspired to create conditions where Chlorine-based compounds have been able to deplete the Ozone. Along with that analysis tends to be the alarmist cry that this might become an annual event.
Somehow the editors (?) of these reports can't see that if events occur annually, they don't really qualify to be called unusual circumstances.
It seems they can't see that the general rule would be that if there's not enough ozone, that's because there's not enough radiation to form it. Of course, admitting that would mean admitting that the sun is cooling - or at least we're receiving less radiation from it - and that we're headed for another Ice Age.

CERN to Hide Higgs Boson

The scientists at CERN are up to it again. Last week we reported on their active refusal to report the results of their experiments regarding cosmic rays and climate change. This week's apparent outrage seems even more insidious than their last.
It appears that the folks at CERN's Large Hadron Collider are steering the rest of the particle-accelerator world away from particular energy levels as they all seek the Higgs Boson. By telling their colleagues that they've ruled out certain energy ranges, they've essentially assured themselves of exclusivity in those precise ranges.

We once again have to be concerned that CERN - with that worlds' largest particle accelerator - are looking to reap the benefits of proving the existence of the Higgs Boson. Until they have submitted all these results to the normal process of peer-review, we can only assume the worst - that they've found this elusive particle, and are working on proprietary ways to harness it for their own gain, scientific, financial, or other.

Until CERN is forthcoming with details of their discovery, rather than throwing elementary particle red herrings into the world's tokamaks, we have little chance of proving or disproving this dire suspicion. We can only hope that the powers that be at CERN will realize the responsibility that comes with high energy physics domination.

CERN, Cosmic Rays, and Cover-Ups

"I have asked the colleagues to present the results clearly, but not to interpret them, as that would go immediately into the highly political arena of the climate change debate. One has to make clear that cosmic radiation is only one of many parameters." - CERN Director General Rolf-Dieter Heuer, regarding the latest experiment concerning cosmic rays and atmospheric cloud formation.

While the director general of CERN has carefully cloaked his language, making it appear that he is concerned about his scientists' entering the anthropogenic climate change controversy, it seems clear that he is actually working to divert attention from the real results of this experiment.

As reported here last week, the radiation from microwave ovens has been implicated in the development of antibiotic- and pesticide- resistant micro- and macro- organisms. There is further some previously unreported concern regarding the source of the increase in brain cancer, as there seems to be no link with mobile phone usage.
We have to be concerned that CERN, with the world's largest particle accelerator, has been experimenting with cosmic rays with energies far beyond those found in the very center of an industrial strength microwave. It seems obvious - but we won't jump to any unwarranted conclusions - that this may be nothing more than a cover for the electrical appliance industry world-wide.

Until CERN is forthcoming with full details of why they refuse to publish studies correlating sea-level ozone concentrations and brain tumor incidence with microwave oven usage, there is little chance of our finding the truth in the peer-reviewed journals.
Indeed, until that time, this blog may be your only source of analysis of this near-criminally under-reported topic.
