What's going on with the hole in the ozone layer?

in reply to NASA • • •so what you're saying is the time from implemented measures (mid to late 80's) to healing of the ozone layer will be approx 100 years. A century.
Now do climate change. Ya know, for those in the back.

Ozone is one step behind fluorine.
Remind me why people think they can do anything to make ozone not react with anything else in the atmosphere.

Just on time for humans to finally cop on to the fact that we have killed ourselves with our carbon excesses.
