For weeks now I have been waiting for some reaction to Mark R. Thorson's
alarming post (summary: shuttle launches cause significant percentage of
the world's ozone destruction problem), but... zilch.  Nada.  Not a single
post.

Nobody violently doubting the figures.  Nobody asking how this could be
allowed to happen.  Nobody suggesting what could be done.  Just guilty
silence overall.  Could it be that we are trying to ignore a problem away
here?  Wouldn't be the first time.
