Disaster averted: NASA confirms the ozone hole over Antarctica is CLOSING

January 14, 2018 -

When scientists first noticed the hole that had formed in the ozone layer, many believed that chloro-fluorocarbons (CFCs) were the cause. These chemicals were used in a wide variety of applications, including packing materials, air conditioning units and aerosol sprays. When CFCs make their way into the atmosphere, they get broken down by the sun's ultraviolet rays -- and release ozone-destroying chlorine atoms.The ozone layer is an essential shield ...

Ozone recovery: A rare environmental success story or a fluke of nature?

March 07, 2025 -

In a world often dominated by dire environmental headlines, a rare piece of good news has emerged: the ozone layer over Antarctica is healing. A new study led by scientists at MIT confirms that the infamous ozone hole, first discovered in the 1980s, is on track to close completely within the next decade. But while many are celebrating this as a triumph of international cooperation, others are questioning whether this recovery is truly a result of human ...

UK scientists warn that household aerosols are worse pollutants than vehicles

May 12, 2021 -

The April 22 study published in Elementa provided global estimates of VOCs from aerosols based on a wide range of different sources. It also named products that could potentially emit the highest amount of VOCs. The researchers remarked that carpet cleaners, windshield de-icers and oven cleaners were most likely to fall under this category.

Study author and chemistry professor Alistair Lewis of the University of York told the Daily Mail: "In some countries like the U.K., ...

Earth’s ozone hole rapidly shrinking following ban of ozone depleting chemicals

May 20, 2019 -

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have published a paper in the journal Science, claiming that the hole has shrunk by an impressive 4 million square kilometers (over 1.54 million square miles) since 2000, when the problem was at its most critical. Interestingly, the hole in the ozone is not static – it starts developing in late August each year, as Antarctica starts shaking off the winter, and is fully developed by the beginning of October. Ozone is ...

Scientists claim that terraforming the Earth can pave the way to terraforming Mars

February 11, 2021 -

Writing for Space.com, biologist Mike Wall talks about terraforming Earth to pave the way for terraforming Mars – that is, transforming it from a hostile, alien environment to one suitable for human life. The idea originates from his interviewee, San Francisco-based conceptual artist Jonathan Keats, who claims that rewilding Earth – letting other life forms reclaim the space occupied by humanity – can help scientists sort out the complexities of making other worlds hospitable....

The ozone fix that backfired: Replacement chemicals have blanketed Earth in 335,000 tons of a forever pollutant

a month ago -

A silent, invisible rain of a persistent "forever chemical" has been falling across the entire planet for decades, and a new scientific study has just calculated the staggering total. The culprit stems from what was once hailed as a landmark environmental victory: the replacement of ozone-destroying refrigerants.

Research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters estimates that more than 335,000 tons of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) have been ...

China caught emitting ACTUAL greenhouse gases that are harmful, while ignorant AOC claims U.S.A. is the problem

May 23, 2019 -

For instance, though the United States has been at the forefront of development for a century, Democrats believe that nothing good has come from a period of time spanning the Industrial Revolution to the modern era of constantly evolving technology.

Our biggest contribution to the world, they claim, hasn’t been the wonderful devices, tools, and conveniences we have invented and shared with the world. No — our biggest contribution is destruction of the planet, bad health ...

“Forever chemical” TFA found in global food supply as pollution from CFC replacements spreads

a month ago -

A new study reveals that chemicals originally introduced to protect the ozone layer are now contributing to a surge in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a persistent "forever chemical" contaminating food, water and ecosystems worldwide. Published in Geophysical Research Letters, the research from Lancaster University estimates that over 335,500 tons of TFA have been deposited globally since 2000, much of it originating from refrigerants and anesthetics once considered ...

Antarctic ozone hole closes early, marking steady progress toward full recovery

December 03, 2025 -

While the mainstream media focuses on dire environmental forecasts, a genuine good news story is emerging from the bottom of the planet. The protective ozone layer over Antarctica, once the poster child for human-caused ecological damage, is showing clear and encouraging signs of healing. Fresh data reveals that the annual ozone hole closed on December 1, 2025, marking its earliest closure since 2019. At its peak this season, it was the smallest observed ...

RED ALERT: Democrats want to drop people from Medicare and Medicaid unless they agree to be injected with the experimental, deadly vaccine

August 10, 2021 -

The latest threat is that people on Medicare and Medicaid could be cut off from coverage if they refuse to get jabbed as part of Donald Trump's "Operation Warp Speed" injection program, which was carried over by Biden following his inauguration.

Biden was hellbent on achieving a 70 percent injection rate by July 4th, which failed miserably. Now, his regime is scheming up new ways to deprive Americans of their rights and liberties in the hopes that this will push the numbers ...

The WAR on appliances continues: Biden imposes rule to slash coolant use in air conditioning units

July 16, 2023 -

More stringent rules that reduce the use of coolants used in most air conditioning units and other appliances in the name of fighting climate change are also next in line. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule this week that dovetails with the 2020 American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act to reduce the production and consumption of the said chemicals by 85 percent by 2036. It aims to slash the use of synthetic refrigerant hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) ...
