    I thought this was something that had been fixed like, 20 years ago. Did it get worse again?

      The treaty to fix it was 38 years ago but the hole only began to close in the last decade. As expected and now confirmed.

    I feel like these scientists need to keep their mouths shut.

    If the Trump admin finds out about this, the next executive order will be something that requires CFCs to be put back into American appliances and aerosols because he hates any accomplishment academics have ever had.

    I’m so used to dingbat news articles posting about the hole closing around mid antarctic summer and catastrophically opening again at the beginning of antarctic spring every year that I had to check the date. Thankfully this isn’t that type of article.

    Course with trump gutting NOAA those reports might get few and far between.
