I am interested to know just what type of chemicals would be released by boeing in an attempt to repair the ozone...I had trouble with this link, if someone can post it over that would be great...also added two phenomenal links passed on to me by LSQ cttusa with some great statistical info..also a link from experts concerning how boeings new plane might affect the ozone...blessings T

New plane may plug hole in the ozone layer
By Paul Marston, Transport Correspondent
(Filed: 08/03/2002)
A NEW breed of airliners could help reduce the hole in the Earth's
ozone layer.
Boeing is designing the Sonic Cruiser to operate at 42,000-50,000ft,
within the lower levels of the ozonosphere. It will be fitted with
sensors to monitor the ozone layer and could eventually be used to
release replacement ozone.
Boeing hopes it will be flying within six years at just under the
speed of sound, saving an hour per 3,000 miles flown on current
airliners.
Environmentalists are sceptical about Boeing's plans.
Friends of the Earth said: "Trying to tinker with this huge problem
by
adding yet more chemicals into the Earth's environment could make
matters worse."

****Another interesting viewpoint of the cruiser, concern over it destructing the ozone: notice the water vapour statement:
>>Two years ago, the official Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change calculated that every 1,000 supersonic aircraft, which also fly in the stratosphere, would thin the ozone layer by about 1 per cent a year, suggesting that several thousand operating for years, as is planned for the sonic cruiser, would be devastating.
Dr Helen Rogers of Cambridge University's European Ozone Research Co-ordinating Unit, a contributor to the report, said last week that the sonic cruiser would have a similar effect to supersonic aircraft. They will also fly in the stratosphere to give what Boeing promises will be "a smoother ride".
Boeing says the new plane will emit less nitrogen oxide, a main cause of ozone destruction, than current aircraft. But Dr Rogers and her colleague Dr Joe Farman, who discovered the Antarctic ozone hole, says that, as a result, the planes would be likely to produce more water vapour which, at that altitude, would set off an even more destructive series of reactions.
The company says the plane's design is not yet finalised. It insists "the environment and the ozone layer are very important to Boeing".<<

That brings me back to my #1 question I have had all along regarding airplanes.
How much pollution are commercial airlines really dumping into our skies?
Didn't NASA do a study on this? Or is the study still ongoing? I had seen links to the study, but I went to the web site, and it bogs you down with a bunch of scientific jargon that the average person can't really get a bottom line conclusion with what's going on.
I think we're all being duped.. I find it very interesting in the article the comment the lady made about vapor trails causing more problems for the ozone.. So all those chemtrails they're dumping in the sky, what's that doing to our atmosphere and ozone layer?

I did a post on this last year; it's in the science forum at http://www.chemtrailcentral.com/ubb/Forum14/HTML/000021.html
I believe I answered (to the best of my knowledge, anyway) any questions about my company's aircraft and possible ozone depletion.
And, regarding that Daily Telegraph article cited in the above post, the piece says that “A new breed of airliners could help reduce the hole in the Earth's ozone layer….and could eventually be used to release replacement ozone.” (emphases mine). In other words, it is complete conjecture. Interestingly enough, based on the proposed stability, long range, altitude, and alignment of the landing gear, the Sonic Cruiser’s design has been pointed out by some defense people as an aircraft that could be cost-effectively be modded to be a manned bomber.
But that doesn’t mean that my company has any plans to either drop bombs or spray chemicals from the Sonic Cruiser. My guess is that, given the thinning of ozone in certain portions of the atmosphere, it would take a lot more than a Sonic Cruiser (or even a thousand of them) to dump enough ozone in the atmosphere to make up the deficit.
