Hold on, the USA just fired the EPA, let's not get any hopes up.
I thought this was something that had been fixed like, 20 years ago. Did it get worse again?
- The treaty to fix it was 38 years ago but the hole only began to close in the last decade. As expected and now confirmed.
  
  I miss the days when we could get our shit together collectively and solve real problems that threaten the future of humanity.
I feel like these scientists need to keep their mouths shut.
If the Trump admin finds out about this, the next executive order will be something that requires CFCs to be put back into American appliances and aerosols because he hates any accomplishment academics have ever had.
Now fix climate change by global reduction of CEOs.
Just in time for aluminum oxide from satellites. Sorry should I remain uplifting?
- I was gonna ask yeah but for how long?
I'm so used to dingbat news articles posting about the hole closing around mid antarctic summer and catastrophically opening again at the beginning of antarctic spring every year that I had to check the date. Thankfully this isn't that type of article.
Course with trump gutting NOAA those reports might get few and far between.
Now reduce car exhaust.
- This one is on the way. Big thanks to China, small thanks to the EU, no thanks to the usual suspect.
but not for long. the future is coming on is coming on
Just think what might have been if big O&G had been reigned in 50 years ago?
sigh
