Over 40 years ago, "climate scientists" told us that we needed to ban CFC's to fix the hole in the ozone layer at the South Pole. Well, the world did. Those "scientists" then said that within 20 years the hole would close. Well, forty years later, and the hole in the ozone layer is bigger than usual having never closed at all.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/58597187Each year, as the Southern Hemisphere heads into spring, the ozone layer thins over the Antarctic, but scientists say that the hole is bigger than usual this year.
The researchers who monitor the ozone layer say the hole is as big as Antarctica and is now 'larger than 75% of ozone holes at that stage in the season since 1979.'
Seems those "scientists" were dead flat wrong on CFC's. What else could they be dead flat wrong on...?

LOL! Talk about jumping to conclusions to play out a political narrative- YOU TAKE THE CAKE SIR!
I suspect that some careless nefarious manufacturer is creating CFC's again- and it is just a matter of time that researchers will discover who it is and the world will have to deal with them.
Laws do not prevent crime- they can only deter it.
You can bet that the perpetrators are in some 3rd-world country. BUT TRUST ME, THEY WILL BE FOUND AND DEALT WITH BY THE WORLD COMMUNITY!

You should read more about it. This is actually an annual event - it's not permanent.

And they weren't wrong about CFC's, at all.
Research & study. The best avenues to true knowledge.

Trump built a wall, right?
Why do we still have illegal immigrants?

"UV radiation can harm humans, animals and plants, as well as damage plants' ability to absorb carbon - an important part of reducing the climate crisis."
WOW ... I guess that means we won't be getting our shipment of potato's from Antarctica this year ... WOW

Hello T. A. Gardner,
Thanks for posting this thread. Good current event.
Banning the manufacture of CFCs did not remove the ones that were already out there in AC and refer units all over the world.
Those units have continued in operation until, one by one, they have failed and released their CFCs into the atmosphere.
That's why the problem has become worse after mitigation efforts began.
Lag time.
The effort to prevent more CFCs from adding to the atmospheric load has prevented the ozone hole from becoming even larger than it already has.
Why do you put climate scientists in quotes? Do you not believe there is such a thing as climate science? Or do you only recognize the ones who say what you want to hear.
There is actually a lot of money to be made by going green.
And it is good for life on the planet and the future of humanity.
I look forward to having an electric car.
No more repair bills for:
starter
transmission
radiator
fuel pump
oil change
exhaust system
emission controls
tune up
timing chain
coil
alternator
water pump
Ever spent any $ on any of those?

It closes every year. It opens every year.
The ozone layers are built up by the Sun's interaction on oxygen in the atmosphere. We can't stop it even if we wanted to. At the winter of a pole (ever notice that the Church of the Ozone Hole reports this every summer? That's WINTER at the South Pole!), there is no daylight, so...no ozone. Big deal. The penguins are not going to die from lack of ozone.
It is, of course, amusing that the Church of the Ozone Hole is *still* there trying to say it's getting worse even after they implemented their fix for it!
The Church of the Ozone Hole was started by the DuPont corporation, which was losing its patents on R-12 refrigerant.
