Stupid take.
The headline was true and the call to action happened. But then people went back to doing stupid shit and using chemicals again. You might be too young to remember the ozone hole and how it healed and now it’s getting worse again.
But oh no! Headlines continue to come as they get ignored and things get worse and worse.
While it increased in size last year that was in response to weather conditions that change year to year. Granted some of that may be in response to Global Warming, so that sucks.
Just like with Global Warming, any changes take place over decades or centuries. In this case the reduction in HFC emissions won’t get the atmosphere back to 1980 levels until 2040. At least we should see this success in our lifetimes: I hope some of y’all see a similar win for global warming, but it’s well beyond average life expectancy for me

Ozone hole is still a ‘W’!
