I don't understand how the UV rays supposedly following a linear path and 
coming from the sun, through a hole in the ozon layer, high above the poles can 
fall on Austalia and Patagonia in view of the relative positions in space of 
Sun and Earth throughout the seasons?? In other words I seriously doubt whether 
the reported increase in melanoma has anything to do with this phenomena.
