Future ozone layer concentrations[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 27 Jun 2011 at 12:32:09 (UTC)

Original - Led by NASA Goddard scientist Paul Newman, a team of atmospheric chemists simulated 'what might have been' if chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and similar ozone-depleting chemicals were not banned through the Montreal Protocol. The model simulated what would happen to global concentrations of stratospheric ozone if CFCs were continually added to the atmosphere from 1974 projected to 2060, measured in Dobson units.

  • Question: Is there a version that shows the whole globe, not just a section of North America? SpencerT♦C 16:35, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately no. This was made from the only set of images over such a time period. Fallschirmjäger ✉ 17:37, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. I know this is kind of a useless vote, but I can't oppose due to great EV, and I cannot support either because of the limited scope of the map itself. SpencerT♦C 02:22, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as article beneficiary. This is very encyclopedic, going into an article (Fluorine) that is a core article, heading for FA. Can probably support several other articles also. Whole thing came directly out of article support as well (not picture looking for home). FS, did a fair amount of work, to blacken the background, create the animation, expand the scale, etc. I would have been happy with any region ("being global"), but this is what NASA had as source material. Overall article does have a picture of F factory in England and discoverer of F, being French. But I am still sensitive to too much American stuff in article and will try to work around that. If someone could find me a pic of Neil Bartlett (English) who invented first F-noble gas compounds, would be happy to stick that in article.TCO (talk) 17:02, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Its a great image as far as animations go. --Guerillero | My Talk 02:24, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Great EV. Hariya1234 (talk) 10:25, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Spencer. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 11:27, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Support given the borders are right. The image is great, but it lacks a single thing — Canada—Alaska border. Also, is it sure that the U.S.—Canada border is the real border, and not limited to U.S. land (I mean, does the border go through the Great Lakes or just below them)? I'm ready to change my mind once these are fixed.--R8R Gtrs (talk) 13:18, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    I guess the borders could be taken out, or we could add the Alaska boundary. The US-CA boundary goes through the lakes, but we should check and see if what we have is the correct border.TCO (talk) 15:56, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't have the time to upload myself, but there are videos etc available showing more than this here. JJ Harrison (talk) 11:29, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • FS looked at that, before. I nixed the video, because most of my readers won't be able to watch it. (The file format, they make us use for WP videos causes problems for most readers...have been down that road with pain on a previous Featured Article...want things in article that work.)TCO (talk) 17:48, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yeah, I don't buy the argument for ogg at all personally. We use jpeg, I can't see why mpeg2, h264 etc are not allowed. JJ Harrison (talk) 13:38, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The first location and worst effects of the ozone hole were over the antarctic. By focusing on northern america this is avoidably and substantially reducing the EV of this image. To me, featuring this would be featuring a clear example of WP:BIAS. --99of9 (talk) 09:58, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I see where your coming from but its the only version available and having been made by NASA its only natural for them to centre the map on North America. A large majority of readers are from the States anyway and although you are correct in saying the Antarctic beared the worst effects, this image clearly illustrates that the problem has gone beyond just the poles to NA with which many readers will be able to associate with.

Also, I am a VERY ARTICLE oriented person. And I read the ozone layer article. And we have a pic for the hole already and it is displayed up top. So, it's not like we are trying to displace that pic or only cover the topic with one pic...TCO (talk) 16:56, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
