What happened to the hole in the ozone?

Question

We were all supposed to have burned up by now. Yet, it is still there and so are we.

Answer 1

theres a hole in the bottom of the sea

Answer 2

There was never actually a 'hole' in the ozone layer, but thinning. And since the ban of CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons), the ozone layer has effectively 'healed' itself

Answer 3

In 1999, a secret government organization executed Operation Stopper.  Whilst the nation slept, over 400 helicopters airlifted a a giant cork to the north pole and inserted it into the hole in the ozone.  We are saved!!!!

Answer 4

It is still there and getting bigger each year, no you wouldn't be burning up right now but if things don't change it will happen.

Answer 5

Ozone Hole repaired itself.  Because idiotic scientists tried shooting proton rays into the Earth's Atmosphere.  Their job to capture the electric atmosphere to power the whole planet in 1987.  2 holes were discovered where the tests were done.  Over time the holes have now fully repaired them.  Any holes reported now is a lie due to the fact it can take away our tax paying dollars.

Answer 6

The ozone hole scam was perpetrated by big chemical companies, such as Dupont. When their patent for CFCs was set to expire, they invented a reason for the world to move to new, more expensive chemicals for refrigeration. Philanthropic foundations, whose board of directors overlap the large corporations, promoted the scare theory. The hole is a natural phenomenon, discovered by French scientists in the 1950s.

Answer 7

its still there

Answer 8

We filled the hole with aresol cans, and styrafoam plates.

Answer 9

duct tape fixes everything, except that.

we used a green band aid.

you should watch the news more often.

i do. and i know stuff.

Answer 10

1/3 of the sheep in the southern tip of south america are blind from excess uv. laugh now disbeliever cuz its skin cancer time soon for us all .

Answer 11

Al Gore patched it.

Answer 12

But, while there is some relationship between the ozone layer and global warming, these are really two separate problems. The mass media and pop culture often confuses these two issues.

Global warming is related to increasing amounts of greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, etc.), and holes in the ozone layer are caused primarily by CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons).

“Holes” in the ozone are areas where the ozone layer has thinned, or has partially been depleted. CFCs are mainly released at northern latitudes--mostly from Europe, Russia, Japan, and North America. Once in the atmosphere, CFC’s reacts with sunlight and ozone molecules in such a way that the ozone breaks down. Ozone thinning has been most dramatic in the sky above the South Pole. A combination of specific weather conditions and CFC chemistry created this hole above Antarctica.

The Montreal Protocol is a wonderful example of an international treaty designed to protect the environment. It went into effect on January 1, 1989. Due to its widespread adoption and implementation, the concentrations of the most significant ozone-depleting molecules have leveled off, and begun to decrease.

This concept of ozone layer depletion was politically controversial in the 1990s but has broadly been accepted by the scientific community. Paul Crutzen, Mario Molina, and F. Sherwood Rowland were awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering the chemical mechanism that links CFCs to ozone depletion. The Montreal Protocol was negotiated under the auspices of the United Nations and is widely seen as a model for the Kyoto Protocol. The scientific basis of ozone depletion has been disputed by some global warming skeptics and their related institutions, including Patrick Michaels, Steven Milloy, and Fred Singer (this is one more reason why these guys should not be taken seriously).

Answer 13

The hole in the ozone, over the south pole, became so big that now it's referred to as a patch of ozone remaining over the north pole.

Answer 14

because we stopped using CFCs the hole on the ozone layer is "repairing" its self.
