    Yeah, that’s what I heard too. And it was because of CFC’s and wasn’t related to climate change. Once CFCs were outlawed, I heard the hole in the ozone was fixing itself (and ultimately fixed).

      Seen a lot of “trades” videos out of china with refrigerant cylinders in the back that look suspiciously like R-12 and R-22 cylinders.

      You know, the refrigerants that were eating into the ozone layer.

    That was the hole above California. This hole is above Antarctica, apparently caused by emissions drifting from China.

  It’s been continuously shrinking. It takes time for it heal and it ebbs and flows with the seasons. It won’t close until 2040.
