They'll say its because we banned CFCs. And I don't think its gone, just not talked about anymore. Likely the science behind it had nothing to do with CFCs. hell, it might actually have everything to do with polution.
It is gone, and that is exactly what they say when you bring it up. CFCs were banned in America so the ozone hole repaired itself. While the rest of the world was still using CFCs.
Because these morons believe (or at least make others believe) that the US is the only place in the world with pollution and if the US stops polluting than suddenly like magic pollution will cease to exist as if the rest of the world's pollution doesn't matter.
We’re already the cleanest first world country going. The major polluters are third world, communist nations and India. Time THEY cleaned up their act.
Nah, CFCs have been shown to degrade ozone in the lab, and they are banned pretty much world wide, including China surprisingly. However, the ban was not really needed as the primary release was due their use as refrigerants, and we were able to find better gasses for those, which significantly reduced demand of CFCs in general. The hole is still around BTW, but it's gotten much smaller, and you don't hear much about except in places like Australia, which is still affected by it.
Degrade ozone in a lab. However it takes a lot of travel from ground level, to float up to Ozone Layer level. During which there is a number of different layers of atmosphere that a CFC would have to go through before it could get to the ozone layer.
Why is the hole centered more where no one lives than where lots of people lived and used cfcs?
Yeah, they're lighter than air, so they do float to the outer atmosphere (as is ozone). It's actually pretty common for gasses to float that high. CFCs are only degraded by UV light, so they aren't degraded until they start getting close to the outer atmosphere, where UV is more intense. The reason why the hole isn't centered over a population are is because they are gasses that do not mix. Think about oil and water, even if you shake it them together, the oil droplets will eventually coalesce back into a single blob. Lastly, as odd as it may seem, the atmosphere has resonance frequencies that allow weather patterns to stay in a relatively fixed location, which is why it has stayed near the south pole for so long. Go look at the hexagonal storm at Saturn's pole, it's the same phenomenon. Any other holes that are formed would eventually make their way to the larger one and "merge".

I work with a lefty who believes that the US is fairly clean but only because we "export our pollution" by having all of our products made in China.
And they see that as no different than the pollution coming from our own imaginary smokestacks.
