The hole in the ozone layer is larger than it usually is at this time of the year, according to a team of EU scientists.
The European Union’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service said Thursday the ozone hole is larger than the size of Antarctica.
“Forecasts show that this year’s hole has evolved into a rather larger than usual one,” said the head of the EU satellite monitoring service, Vincent-Henri Peuch.
The hole makes an appearance each spring season in the Southern Hemisphere. […]
Experts believe the world will only be free of harmful ozone-depleting substances in 2060, when it’s hoped they will have been completely phased out. …

And yet in my area, the last few days, the NOAA has said ozone is at dangerously high levels.
Go figure.

As I remember this the phase-out of freon has led to vastly increased costs for all kinds of refrigerants: A/C for homes and autos, refrigerators, etc.
Now they are telling us it didn't work. But we are stuck with the higher costs.

Since we already banned chlorofluorocarbons for causing perfectly normal oscillations in the polar ozone layer what are we supposed to ban now?

Can we patch it with a humongous glob of Flex Paste?

You can still get Freon in Mexico.

This is good news on the Covid front.
The fear porn mongers are looking for a new fear porn to monger.
Must mean the covid fear porn is losing value for the mongers.

Masks cause an increase in the ozone hole.
Causation, correlation, whatever.

I thought if we all got rid of CFC-12 we wouldn't have anymore so called "ozone problems"? You mean the government mandated sh**ty AC refrigerants aren't working? What a surprise!

So they are going to remove the chlorinated and fluorinated gases, the sulphur and other ozone depleting substances from the volcanic emissions by 2060? This is something I’d like to live to see.

We won’t. They’ll kill us all before then....and take all our money.

Usual is every winter the hole appears because there is no sunlight. Almost magically it reappears in the spring with the return of the sun.
But we are all going to die without a near virgin sacrifice….
