Hole in Ozone layer caused by Nuclear testing in 1950s

Independent TD Danny Healy-Rae has claimed in the Dáil that the hole in the ozone layer was caused by nuclear testing in the Pacific Ocean 50 years ago.

He said "untruths have been bandied about" about climate change for years as he addressed today's debate on the ratification of the Paris Climate Change Agreement, an agreement that he is "very worried about".

The Kerry TD said: "There was changes in the climate way back in times when there was no industrialisation and way less animals on farms and no intensification of farming.

"Yet we had intense heat, long periods of very cold, wet weather which culminated in many lives being lost in the famine in the 1740s, caused by two years of incessant rain and extremely cold winters."


"El Nino and the Gulf Stream played a significant part in climate change going back the centuries. There have been a lot untruths bandied about going back for many years.

"They told us about the ozone layer and there was greenhouse gases from cans of hairspray or whatever but they never told us that it was nuclear testing in the Pacific Ocean 50 years ago actually caused the serious damage to the Ozone layer.

"Thankfully it is mending and it is curing and it is not anything to do with policies in any country in recent times."

But on the down side, Trump will be elected President in 12 days time and nuke half the world, causing more holes in the ozone layer and starting the whole process of banning hairspray all over again. The banning of hairspray will make Trump even more angry and so he will nuke the other half of the world as well. Which will solve the global warming problem for humanity.

Nuking half the world does free up lots of lovely beach front property opportunities if they can use high powered neutron bombs .

And the radioactive water will mean a massive cost saving on lighting.
