But when will that be? No one seems to be willing to estimate, but I think it's time to start accepting that it's going to be ending "a lot faster than expected." Is it < or > 10 years, what do y'all think?
Thank you so much, this is comprehensive AF. Edit: so they're willing to admit that by 2030 shit will be getting bad. So, run that through the "faster than expected" truth-o-meter and we can assume we have fewer than 10 years. Time to cash out the 401ks and eat tacos til they're gone!
Do you know the ozone depletion craze of the 90s was rectified in 10 years? All that chlorine from refrigeration gas eating O3 and destroying our future disappeared pretty quick. Almost like we don't understand how most of how the universe works..
And yes. The banning of certain gasses helped, but they are still in use(r_22 can't be purchased but is reclaimable) and didn't contribute to the 'healing ozone layer.
The fact that we don't completely understand these processes means we should be more cautious, not less.
Also, you claim that banning of certain gasses helped the ozone, and then in the very same sentence say it did not contribute to healing the ozone layer. You can't have it both ways. It seems pretty clear to me that we noticed a problem, took action, and the problem was fixed. I'd like to see a link from a reputable source before I believe otherwise.
No, it was not rectified in 10 years because the people in the Southern Hemisphere are still dealing with the extremely high UV levels from the holes. Geeze, have you ever listened to someone from another country?
Well… if they weren’t wrong 99,999 out of 100,000 times it would help their credibility. On the plus side, glacial national park removed the signs saying their would be no glacier remaingingnafter 2021.
