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.

I was told it was fixed. WTF?

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.
