The hole in Earth’s ozone layer — which made headlines in the 1970s and 1980s but which has been slowly healing since an international treaty banned the chemicals creating it — is growing bigger again ...
As the ozone layer recovers, it’s also intensifying global warming. Researchers predict that by 2050, ozone will rank just behind carbon dioxide as a driver of heating, offsetting many of the benefits ...
The concentrations of some ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere are increasing rapidly, scientists warn, despite the production of these chemicals having been banned globally ...
A new study confirms the Antarctic ozone layer is healing as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances. A new MIT-led study confirms that the Antarctic ozone layer is ...
An international research team led by the University of Bremen has detected chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in Earth's atmosphere for the first time in historical measurements from 1951—20 years earlier ...
After a major setback in the 2010s, the most recent U.N. assessment says the Montreal Protocol has succeeded in safeguarding Earth's ozone layer. Reading time 3 minutes When it comes to the health of ...
