I believe in the ozone hole, I just never believed that it was man made, and latest figures would seem to be backing my belief. The hole that would continue to grow for at least another 50 years even if we stopped all use of CFCs is slowly closing, while the world use of CFCs in places like China is now greater than that portion of the market which we gave up. There were 6 X 100 pound bottles of it, on my last ship and the system needed every drop of it as system leaked everywhere,... until the Aussie crew fixed it. The name of the vessel was,..... wait for it,..... "All Green"
In Shanghai 4 years ago it was virtually impossible to buy refrigerants like R401, the replacement for R12 (Freon) we were sold some obviously re-branded bottles containing "approved refrigerant",.... Yeah,... I believed that, like I believe in Climate change being entirely man made.
The remainder of these things are all physical items that I evaluate and still have my preferences as to what I drive, use or consume, and the way in which I elect to do it.
My choice as to whether I believe climate change is being caused by man is still "out",... as there is ample and very basic evidence to show that something is very "off" about the whole issue.
I have great faith in my own judgement, and would never forgive myself if I were to allow someone else's poor judgement to cause me to change my life. If I make a poor judgement, I have only one person to blame and can live with it. Fortunately it rarely happens, In fact I can't think of the last time I made a seriously "poor" decision affecting my life. I think that I could say, that where it is legally allowable, I almost never allow others to make my decisions for me and thus far, it has never given me cause for regret.

I do not take all medical advice. In fact I rarely ever see a doctor. Other than to renew a prescription for blood pressure tablet annually, and treatment of a broken foot, I think it would be over 30 years since I have sought the advice of a doctor. I have never had a medical examination since I left the Navy 34 years ago, despite several doctors asking. I eat pretty much as I please without the benefit of all the crap told to us by various medical "experts", and I enjoy excellent health, I sleep well, and can read the finest print. I do voluntary work for nearly a dozen others no older than myself. Life is a blast.Yet you drive, watch TV, take medical advice, use firearms, cook in ovens, grow or at least eat crops, use computers all with items devised and/or refined by the "egghead community" so are you sure they don't run your life?
