Is there anyway we can repair the ozone layer?

Why repair what isn't broken?





When it was first discovered about 50 years ago, it was one size. Over time, scientists noticed that the hole was larger and immediately the ';chicken little'; syndrome set in claiming that we were making the hole larger. WRONG!





As scientists came to better understand the ozone layer, they realized that it contains a hole that fluctuates in size as a result of SOLAR activity. Some years it is larger and some years it is smaller.





Mandated changes in the use of things such as CFC's (per the so-called Toronto treaty) have had no significant impact on the ozone layer. Typical overreaction by politicians and environmentalists.Is there anyway we can repair the ozone layer?
The ozone hole will repair itself as long as we stop releasing ozone-depleting chemicals, such as chloro-flurocarbons, into the atmosphere. This was the subject of the Toronto treaty.Is there anyway we can repair the ozone layer?
the ozone layer is fine! we don't have to repair it. it opens and closes in the area between africa and australia, stop f-ing worrying about it
Mother Nature can fix the Ozone Layer, once we stop depleting it.
Apparently the reduced use of CFC's and reduction in space missions is already having a positive effect.





Just don't expect a docudrama telling us good news.
