Signs of Ozone Layer Recovery Detected
polar red writes "22 years of banning CFCs is starting to pay off. Researchers have finally been able to measure a reduction in size of the ozone layer hole, after finding the source of its fluctuations. 'Salby's results reveal a fast decline in ozone levels until the late 1990s, then a slow rebound that closely matches what theoretical calculations had predicted, says David Karoly, a climate scientist at the University of Melbourne, Australia. "It is the sort of result that was expected, but is the first to provide detection of an increase in Antarctic ozone levels," he says.'"
The ozone disappearing was a much more pressing and obvious issue than global warming.
Yeah, right. Australians having to use extra sunblock in early spring is a much more pressing issue than droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, everywhere, right?
See, I did say that the fossil fuel industry invests a lot in propaganda. You're buying it.
