Ah shit, here we go again
Ikr I thought we fixed this. I also thought it was in the northern hemisphere.
I also heard that we fixed it, but it was in the southern hemisphere before too.
definitly south was an issue I grew up with, we got warned about all the skin cancer this would cause
I thought we fixed this
inb4 this becomes the core argument for not doing anything to fix it again

It's the 90s again, everyone stop using aerosol!
If girls start gluing their bangs with hairspray again I am done. They're already bringing back the abomination that was mom jeans ffs enough is enough! The bangs and damaged hairlines in another generation of women is going too far. Half of us don't even have eyebrows anymore let the 80s die 😭
Dang, what am I going to do with all this AquaNet ive got?
Is stepson aerosol like knock off store brand aerosol? It's it also red headed?
Fuck. I thought we fixed this.
Me too. I've been carrying it around in my head as "the time we listened to scientists, and almost everyone worked together on some short term pain for worldwide long term gain". I was even hoping we might do something like that again.
There is some speculation that the unusual behavior of the ozone layer in 2023 is a result of the Tongan underwater volcano eruption in January 2022.
The immense amount of water vapor that was injected into the atmosphere likely just started reaching the south polar region after the end of the 2022 ozone hole, Antje said.
The water vapor could have led to a heightened formation of polar stratospheric clouds, allowing chlorofluorocarbons to react and accelerate ozone depletion.
Sorry to break it to you, we stopped using CFCs because a cheaper alternative came along. That it happened to be less suicidal was a happy coincidence.
Cheaper to manufacture? Yes. Cheaper for the end user? It depends. See: Ventolin HFA.
Was literally just thinking about it this morning. Mere hours ago. Not even joking. This sucks.
The last paragraph is completely irrelevant, as it has nothing to do with the ozone layer. You do not want ozone in the troposphere, but you do want it in the stratosphere.

I'm sitting here in the southern hemisphere wondering at what point we'll no longer be be able to go outside unprotected.
imagine if the only food available was grown indoors
I was hoping when the world got too hot then Antarctica would become livable, but I might need to rethink my retirement plans.
Antarctica is still the expected mass migration target for the 23rd century, ozone hole or not.
I don't know if it's true or not, but I've read that when places become more temperate because of climate change, they're still not very livable because there's no soil capable of supporting crops.
It takes decades for the soil to get invaded by bacteria, grasses, shrubs, trees... but eventually they will get there. With a little human help, it can get done even faster.
The warming process is blazing fast on geological scales, but for example sea levels are not expected to reach the top of the Statue of Liberty for at least another 500 years, so on a human scale it's more than enough time to build whole cities, generate fertile top soil, or to organize scuba trips to the 9/11 memorial and put warning signs at sub tunnel entrances.
Antarctica is also not a nice destination, because it's constant night for half a year and day for another half.
I'm planning to move to Sweden when I retire. Of course, that will be a tropical climate by then.
People are buying land in Alaska for future vineyards.
Well, for half a year it's fine, you won't get any direct sun there.
I think that point was like 1990. After that there's been enough excess UV that you should have been using sunscreen basically all the time.
So it seems that this hole in the ozone is a yearly occurrence. CFCs left over from the old days get caught in a yearly wind and poke a hole above antartica. They're not really sure why it's bigger or why it happened earlier than previous years, but they believe it has something to do with an underwater volcano eruption from last year. I think that's the jist of the article.
That's gotta be, like, the absolute worst place it could be
I don't think anywhere is good but I would guess that being farther from the equator is better since there is less direct sunlight. I could be wrong though.

Man... people really don't like reading articles so much as they like speculating about headlines.
And, while I feel like I should copy/paste the important bits, isn't it just as easy for people to click the link and read the whole two minute read? Should I paste the full article and bold the important bits? Why should I have to do the work for people who honestly do not care about more than comment karma.
I appreciate the article OP. I wasn't aware of the nature of the ozone hole. I also found the linked article that was published in January to be insightful.
Reading it takes all the fun out of the guessing game. /s
To be fair, some of the confusion here is from reading the article, or at least skipping to the end.
Well, that's not great
Geez....and here i was thinking "I'm doing my part in helping the environment" by using public transport instead of driving, and using paper straws.....
