It was a case not of 'Yes We Can' but 'Damn We Must'. And so we did and we reversed the ozone hole. 40 years later, already experiencing the damning effects of climate change, apparently we reached the lunatic stage of We Can but We Won't. #ozonelayer #science #internationalscientificcoopetation #politicalresponsability #corporategreed #climatechange #climateemergency

"Solving the problem of the disappearing ozone layer was undoubtedly simpler than solving climate change has proved to be [...]
The facilities that were responsible for producing CFCs in the 1980s were worth about US$1 billion in today’s terms — compared with a fossil-fuel infrastructure that is worth some $40 trillion."
If you think that introducing #UBI is not possible, think again.
When did you last hear about the hole in the ozone layer?
I guess some time ago because a big #change is fixing it.
“By something like 2035, we might see a year when there’s no ozone hole depletion at all"
“some of you will see the ozone hole go away completely in your lifetimes. And people did that.”
Change is possible!
UBI is possible!

Fighting a natural global crisis like the climate crisis seems like such a daunting task to many, and any hopes of actually making a difference is considered irrealistic quite often.
However, when a lot of people and especially politicians, manufacturers etc. work on turning things around, nature might indeed heal. It just takes time, but it's worth it, and that's not just a theoretical thing.
Just read about how Antarctica's ozone hole is closing, thanks to combined human effort:

"Musk's Starlink satellites are raining out of orbit at a rate of 120 per month."
Each one produces "30 kilograms of aluminum oxide which eats away at the ozone layer and these oxides have increased 8 fold in the atmosphere since 2016."

IFLScience: It’s Confirmed: Antarctica’s Ozone Hole Is Recovering And On Track To Disappear Completely…
A new has shown with high statistical confidence ozone recovery is going strong and its healing is the direct result of reducing ozone-depleting substances, not natural weather variability... #antarctica #ozonelayer
@_Wiesenthal_S_ But luckily, #Trump and #Musk will most likely defund and prohibit any further atmospheric studies by #NASA or #NOAA that could give proof how severly #SpaceX is damaging our atmosphere and #ozonelayer . Yeah, we‘re really lucky they act so responsible, so we don‘t have to worry any longer. #DontLookUp #Science #Space #DOGE
How did humanity turn the tide on the ozone layer? 🌍 It all started on May 16, 1985, when the world learned about the massive hole above Antarctica.
The potential consequences? A drastic rise in skin cancer and global temperatures rising by up to 2.5°C by the century's end.

How Humanity Saved the Ozone Layer

DESCRIPTION:
It’s May 16 in 1985. An announcement is shocking the world. There is a massive hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica. And if nothing is done, it will be completely gone in a couple of decades.
Fear is spreading, as this would not only mean a massive increase in skin cancer, but also a global temperature rise of up to 2.5 degrees Celsius by the turn of the century.
Something had to be done. And the Good News is, it was done. Fast forward to today, the Ozone Layer is completely recovering. How did we achieve that? And what can we learn from this regarding climate change?

Arctic #ozone reaches record high in positive step for climate https://phys.org/news/2024-10-arctic-ozone-high-positive-climate.html
Record High March 2024 Arctic Total Column Ozone https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2024GL110924
"[they] identified March 2024 as a record high month for #Arctic ozone since the 1970s, following a period of overall increase through winter 2023 to 2024. Above-average ozone levels continued to persist through September 2024... #CFC levels are now declining, in order to allow the #OzoneLayer to begin its lengthy recovery."
On the International Day for the Preservation of the #OzoneLayer, we celebrate the 99% reduction in emissions of #ozone-depleting substances.
