Measurements from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite show that this year’s ozone hole over Antarctica is one of the biggest on record. The hole, which is what scientists call an ‘ozone depleting area,’ reached a size of 26 million sq km on 16 September 2023. This is roughly three times the size of Brazil.
I don’t know what provoked the OP’s comment. I just wanted to add context because I personally made a lot of bad assumptions from it before reading the article.
Also I don’t know that your statement is accurate and global warming is never brought up in the article.
as far as I understand, the presence of ozone causes a greenhouse effect. so an ozone hole should lessen the effects of global warming, if anything. Not to say we should be growing ozone holes of course
To be fair, the commenter did not suggest that. But a bigger ozone hole contributes to global warming.
