"Scientists Find Ozone Hole in Tropics Much Bigger Than in Antarctica" [1]

"A hole in the ozone layer seven times bigger than the one over the Antarctic continent has been discovered sitting over the tropics - and has been there for over 30 years.

A scientist found the huge hole by examining climate and temperature data in the ozone above tropical regions - to the shock of the rest of the scientific community.

It was found that the hole was present year-round and has been there since the 1980s, sitting over areas that make up half the world's surface area and house half the population of the globe."

Darko Manevski reports for Zenger News July 5, 2022. [2]
