Recovering and safely destroying the sources of these chemicals could speed ozone recovery and reduce climate change Massachusetts Institute of Technology In 2016, scientists at MIT and elsewhere observed the first signs...

From The Daily Caller NASA image/ screen grab Jason Hopkins Immigration and politics reporter October 22, 2019 12:18 PM ET The hole in the ozone layer shrank to its smallest size since scientists began recording it, NASA...

A thread from a few days ago. I was a huge believer in Climate Change as a youth. I wanted to save the environment. Then I caught one lie. Then two. Then three. Then I read the current data. Then I realized they’ve been...

From EurekAlert! Public Release: 20-Dec-2018 New threat to ozone recovery Study finds chloroform emissions, on the rise in East Asia, could delay ozone recovery by up to 8 years Massachusetts Institute of Technology Earlier...

NASA Reveals New Results From Inside the Ozone Hole  – Dec. 11, 2013 NASA scientists have revealed the inner workings of the ozone hole that forms annually over Antarctica and found that declining chlorine in the stratosphere...

From the make up your freaking minds department comes this oopsy juxtaposition of alarmist messaging. In an attempt to explain “the pause”, researchers are now grasping for explanations: Human actions that were...

First, a clarification; while the AGU calls it an “ozone hole”, it technically isn’t. As NASA says here, it really isn’t a “hole” in the true sense of the word, it is simply a region of...

From the University of Waterloo, an extraordinary claim. While plausible, due to the fact that CFC’s have very high GWP numbers, their atmospheric concentrations compared to CO2 are quite low, and the radiative forcings...

I like this study from the NSF, because they did hands-on empirical measurements and experiments to make  the determination – Anthony Sunlit Snow Triggers Atmospheric Cleaning, Ozone Depletion in the Arctic Finding...

From Penn State UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Depletion of Antarctic ozone is a more important factor than increasing greenhouse gases in shifting the Southern Hemisphere jet stream in a southward direction, according to researchers...
