Murray) Subject: IAF Conference in Beijing The IAF annual conference is scheduled for Beijing next October. Given the current situation there, it may not happen. Has anyone seen any information on this? For example, are any alternate sites being considered? Is there some cutoff date beyond which it couldn't be handled in Beijing, regardless of the situation? Any information like this would be useful for decision-making and work scheduling purposes.

It makes no sense whatsoever that a > fluorocarbon-induced hole would first appear over the south pole. Yes it does make sense (I think). Electrons get piped down onto the poles by the Earth's magnetic field, so you'd expect the holes to appear there (first). Apparently the antarctic has a weather system which is fairly isolated from the rest of the world, so CFCs and breakdown products stay around longer there than in the arctic where the air gets mixed up quicker.

These things existed as long ago as the early 50's, and I can prove it! Remember the episode of M*A*S*H where Klinger goes sailing over the 4077th in a nightgown and fuzzy pink slippers? He was using a real _Hang Glider_! And that was in Korea (which I think is somewhere west of LA) when Ike was President!!
