NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released a joint report that the ozone hole over the South Pole is at its worst.

Aura satellite data showed that the hole was an average of 10.6 million square miles between Sept. 21 and 30 of this year. That is roughly larger than North America and the largest average ever recorded.

The data is in agreement with the 2006 World Meteorological Organization/United Nations Environment Programme Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion that despite the Montreal Protocol, an international agreement to reduce the world's ozone-depleting gases, the ozone layer will not completely recover from past pollution until about 2065.

This image was taken on Sept. 24. The blue and purple colors represent areas where there is the least ozone. Greens and yellows indicate places with more ozone.

I dunno dude, look at how much bigger the hole has become in such a short timespan.

You know the thing I find funny is that after watching an inconvenient truth (yes I do know its about the greenhouse effect and global warming not the ozone hole) I noticed that Al Gore said that we had already fixed the problem with the ozone layer.

I really remember him saying something like "So how will we fix global warming? We'll do it by acting as a global community, like how we fixed the ozone problem. There was a problem and we fixed it by all acting together"

You know loosely along those lines.

300 years ago we had a mini ice age and the thames froze.... i find it strange that people wont accept that we live on an ever changing planet, and also dont forget that the thing that governs our warmth is a massive ball of burning gas!

I'll never forget the convo I had with this old fart at my previous job about global warming.

He ended it like this: "Look. There's no such thing as global warming. The Earth is just getting hotter."

Yes, people are this ignorant and dumb.

1999's map looks like they just sort of guessed at it

by 'ring' i meant wedding ring, not the ring of flesh around the anus

sorry for being so vague, i can totally see how as soon as you saw the word ring you thought about the ring of flesh around the anus, perfectly understandable
