From Kathy Garriott at American Thinker:

What’s so different about Amy Bishop’s existential meltdown that it doesn’t get the 24/7 coverage that a mass shooting usually garners? For starters, she’s a woman, rare in killings of this type. She has a Ph.D. …from Harvard. There you go. She got her Ph.D. from the same place where Obama got his law degree.

The left is leery of this story because Bishop is one of the “educated class” of which David Brooks approves. She doesn’t fit the more comfortable narrative of the dangerous, ignorant fanatic who clings bitterly to guns and has red-state bonafides. And, Buffy, she’s from Harvard! And Northeastern University! That last is particularly ironic, since that makes it definitive that she’s not a southerner. Her politics are even their politics.

Have you heard from any of the networks that none of those dead in this shooting are white? She killed two black professors and another of East Indian descent. White woman kills two black people in Alabama. No big issues here. This isn’t the mass killer you’re looking for.

Although it has been only a little over twenty years since the Montreal Protocol, which effectively created a global ban on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the interesting history of the ozone hole has slipped under the radar, largely eclipsed by the much greater story of the anthropogenic global warming fraud. It’s interesting to revisit the CFC/ozone depletion scam and note the striking similarities to the current campaign against CO_2.

If nothing else, it seems counterintuitive that the massive blizzards and record low temperatures we are experiencing are symptoms of global warming (anthropogenic or otherwise).

Here is some similarly inconvenient illogic from the CFC dress rehearsal:

Strangely, the most significant thinning of the ozone layer has been observed over the Antarctic. Most CFC use has been in the northern hemisphere.

…

[Human] health threats erupted, most notably the threat of an increased incidence of malignant melanoma. This is interesting, as melanoma is not influenced by UV-B radiation [which is blocked by ozone], but rather UV-A radiation (which is not blocked by ozone).

…

[T]he exact role of atmospheric CFCs remains uncertain. It appears that the primary catalyst of ozone depletion is atmospheric chlorine, and the most atmospheric chlorine by far is out-gassed from the oceans or emitted by volcanoes.
