“New” ozone hole much larger than Antarctic ozone hole

WASHINGTON, July 5, 2022 – An ozone hole, seven times larger than the Antarctic ozone hole, is currently sitting over tropical regions and has been since the 1980s, according to a Canadian researcher.

In AIP Advances, by AIP Publishing, Qing-Bin Lu, a scientist from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, reveals a large, all-season ozone hole – defined as an area of ozone loss larger than 25% compared with the undisturbed atmosphere – in the lower stratosphere over the tropics comparable in depth to that of the well-known springtime Antarctic hole, but its area is roughly seven times greater.

“The tropics constitute half the planet’s surface area and are home to about half the world’s population,” said Lu. “The existence of the tropical ozone hole may cause a great global concern.

So the big concern is the hole may cause concern?

Hey I know let's find this months 'were all gonna die' reason to panic. Ok spin the wheel aaand it's 'The hole in the ozone layer', hey that's a good one but we need to change it up a bit so let's go with the tropics. Seriously this ozone layer hole panic has been going on for so long, first it's huge, then it's shrinking and then it's huge again. Has anyone else come to the conclusion that we really don't know squat about it and if it naturally occurring and not the result of puny man's actions and there is a reason for it?
