The ozone hole above Antarctica will keep opening up each spring for decades to come

"The ozone layer is a vital planetary boundary that protects all life on Earth from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet radiation.Ozone depletion is also linked with climate change, and there are other emerging issues which could affect ozone recovery. These include more frequent mega-wildfires due to climate change, emissions from rocket launches and more satellite debris burning up in the upper atmosphere. Recent research shows mega-wildfires such as the Australian bushfires of 2019 can contribute to ozone depletion."

The problem of plastic pollution is too big for any one nation to handle. That’s why we need a global approach. It’s worked before with the ozone layer and acid rain and it can work again with plastic.

The #MontrealProtocol meeting in Nairobi, Kenya concluded on Saturday. It continues making progress on Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and in addressing #ClimateChange.

"decline in ODS emissions due to compliance with the Montreal Protocol avoids global warming of approximately 0.5–1°C by mid-century, with another estimated avoidance of 0.3–0.5°C warming by 2100 from the anticipated phase down of HFCs under the Kigali Amendment."

✡️ Today's Jew of the Day is Susan Solomon!

Susan Solomon is a climate scientist notable for being the first scientist to identify chlorofluorocarbons as a major contributor to the hole in the ozone layer. During the 1980s, Solomon's research and expeditions showed elevated levels of chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere, and the mechanism by which they could be degrading the Ozone layer, an atmospheric barrier that protects the earth from solar radiation.

Her work directly lead to the UN Montreal Protocols, a plan to save the atmosphere through reduction in harmful chemical generation. This has largely been a success and the ozone layer is healing.

Solomon's work has been recognized as crucial by many institutions and she's been granted awards by including the National Metal of Science, the French Metal of Science, the UK Royal Society, the National Women's Hall of Fame, and Time Magazine, amongst others.
