But if we close the hole how will spaceships escape

"Spaceships"
"Space"
So how would they get in? : O

The reason you don't hear about this is because they already fixed it. They banned all the shit that caused ozone depletion years ago, it just takes more than a decade to come back.

I guess I'll be the first to admit that I thought global warming and the depleting ozone layer were the same issue.

Just remember

Carbon dioxide and methane --> climate change

CFCs or chlorofluorocarbons --> ozone layer

Sulfates from coal and diesel fuel --> acid rain

The anti vaxxers are doing their part. Are you?

Well, I haven't been to a doctor in over a decade and I'm probably well past due for booster shots and whatever else.

Go Ozone!

It's not your fault. Environmental issues are rarely focused on or taught to people. People just don't really know how many acres of forests or jungles are razed every year for construction or agriculture/growing cattle for beef, the buildup of trash in the Pacific Ocean that is poisoning fish, marine wildlife, etc. Look how many don't even realize just how much damage the BP oil spill actually did.

The reason you don't hear about this is because they already fixed it. They banned all the shit that caused ozone depletion years ago, it just takes more than a decade to come back.

There are still many places around the world where CFC's and other ozone depleting substances are still in use, especially in developing countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America. More can easily be done, it's just not on the forefront anymore.

Man if I ever see one of those here and I see them park I will key the shit out of that car.

Nah, don't do that. Just put a potato in the tail pipe.

Nope, the opposite, more or less.

Ozone depletion is (was) caused by nasty aerosols, which actually increase surface albedo (reflectivity), which slightly decreases warming. (e.g. why it's not as hot when it's cloudy outside.)

CO2 (and to a less extent methane, which degrades into CO2) drive warming, because of the greenhouse effect.

Nice. I can finally stop being all Green and stuff. I'm gonna turn off auto-sleep for all of my electronics now.

One step closer to bringing back warrick albuterol asthma inhalers.

New hfa inhalers are less effective.

Investing in Sunblock 5000 was a mistake...
