Claim: Discovery Reveals Large, Year-Round Ozone Hole Over Tropics
An ozone hole, seven times larger than the Antarctic ozone hole, is currently sitting over tropical regions and has been since the 1980s, according to a Canadian researcher.
Climate Change – Is It Time to Say Goodbye to Inhaled Anaesthesia?
Every sector must play its part in reducing both emission of harmful gases and overall energy use.
Study Reveals Chemical Link between Wildfire Smoke and Ozone Depletion
“This chemistry, once you get past that point, is well-established,” Solomon says. “Once you have less nitrogen dioxide, you have to have more chlorine monoxide, and that will deplete ozone.”
Aussie ABC: The Southern Annular Mode Ozone Recovery Ate our Global Warming
You’ve got to hand it to Climate Alarmists – when they want to reach for an excuse for why the world is failing to warm, they don’t have far to…
Claim: 1987 Montreal Ozone Rules Held Back “Scorched Earth” Extreme Global Warming
According to a new study, the Montreal protocol is protecting the ability of plants to absorb CO2, preventing an 0.8C surge in global warming.
NASA-funded Network Tracks the Recent Rise and Fall of Ozone Depleting Pollutants
Due in large part to effective monitoring, and subsequent reaction to the 2018 report, data and analysis in these two papers (published in February 2021) suggest that both the renewed…
The Ozone Hole Returns to Both Poles
Some years ago, relating to a project I was carrying out, I asked the Max Planck Institute and Cambridge University –both experts in this field-if it were possible that Antarctic…
Ozone on the rise – suggests pollution controls aren’t ‘working as well as we thought’
In a first-ever study using ozone data collected by commercial aircraft, researchers from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder found that…
Emissions of several ozone-depleting chemicals are larger than expected
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…

New paper connects upper stratospheric ozone changes to the solar cycle
The authors write in this plain language summary: Changes in the output of the Sun are thought to influence surface weather and climate through a set of processes initiated by…
Despite growing larger this year, NASA says the Antarctic ozone hole is healing
This year, the South Pole region of Antarctica was slightly colder than the previous few years, so the ozone hole grew larger. However, scientists from NASA have developed models to…
Location of large mystery source of banned ozone depleting substance uncovered
From the University of Bristol The compound, carbon tetrachloride, contributes to the destruction of the Earth’s ozone layer, which protects us from harmful ultraviolet radiation. As a result, the production…
Ooops. Despite Montreal Protocol, ozone-destroying CFC's on the rise
NOAA finds rising emissions of ozone-destroying chemical banned by Montreal Protocol Emissions of one of the chemicals most responsible for the Antarctic ozone hole are on the rise, despite an…
Ozone at lower latitudes is not recovering, despite Antarctic ozone hole healing
From IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON The ozone layer – which protects us from harmful ultraviolet radiation – is recovering at the poles, but unexpected decreases in part of the atmosphere may be…
NASA Claim: Definitive Evidence of the Montreal Protocol’s Success on ‘Ozone Hole’ – but may be premature
From the “Montreal Protocol success is not weather, unless it is” department and NASA Goddard: Using measurements from NASA’s Aura satellite, scientists studied chlorine within the Antarctic ozone hole over…
