It’s the same as people using the example of the Y2K bug being a non event. Yeah, because globally trillions of dollars were spent fixing it before it became an event.

“Whatever happened to the ozone layer panic, if scientists are so smart?”
We listened to the scientists, and the problem went away.

Get that marble brain Reddit-style bs outta here. If you wanna deny, you’re gonna have to come up with a reason that you could be right. Otherwise, we’re just gonna point al laugh at your dumbassery.

Did you even bother to read it?
Among other things it says: “Based on the Montreal Protocol and the decrease of anthropogenic ozone-depleting substances, scientists currently predict that the global ozone layer will reach its normal state again by around 2050.”
The reason it isn’t discussed as much is because it’s on the mend and the only things newsworthy are the larger than normal cyclical hole that forms. Another thing mentioned was a volcanic eruption in 2022 that is believed to contribute to that “larger than normal” hole.
Nothing there disputes the fact that we took action. I worked as a refrigeration tech and we even had to learn about this before we could be EPA certified to handle refrigerants.

Yes. Thank you, cheese stick.

Didn’t go away, just stopped getting worse at an alarming rate.

Didn’t the hole above Australia close again?

As a kiwi, the amount of sunburn I get every summer would imply it hasn’t.
Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yeah but I’m pretty sure that’s just cause the sun is upside down over there or something.

No, also the massive SO2 that Mt Pinatubo put into the atmosphere slowly went away. And the CFCs.
Pinatubo created more sulfur emissions during its eruption than 10 years of all human coal burning.
And also on top of that we were also wrecking the Ozone.
Nature can always make our mistakes much much worse.
