Measurements from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite show that this year’s ozone hole over Antarctica is one of the biggest on record. The hole, which is what scientists call an ‘ozone depleting area,’ reached a size of 26 million sq km on 16 September 2023. This is roughly three times the size of Brazil.
So we’re back to the 70s?
Do not get me wrong. I am in favor of going green but all I see is small car engines that designed to fail and less effective cooling.
almost all modern cars cannot provide cooling while idling at 50c. It got so bad to the point where we have businesses that solely exist to modify brand new cars to fit pre 2017 air compressors.
Home ACs are victims too.
On the other hand, airplanes kept flying empty for 3 months during COVID 19 to keep their slots reserved.
Clickbait title aside, the article is about normal variations of the ozone layer caused by nature. There’s nothing that suggests humans are causing the increase, and the overall trend is still that the hole will close fully in a couple decades.
What is your point?
That we should go back to knowingly destroying the ozone layer because the lingering effects of our previous attempts at destroying it haven’t gotten completely better yet and that has had bad effects on air conditioning. Won’t anyone think of the poor deprived people forced to sit in their cars that are a sweltering 70 degrees Fahrenheit?
