Ozone hole - is it good or bad?

• Global warming 'slowed by pollution' - Telegraph

  • The first study found that the hole in the ozone layer, caused by the use of CFCs, has prevented the melting of Antarctica even as the rest of the world warms.

    • I am confused! I think it might be an assumption that the hole in the ozone layer was caused by the use of CFCs. If it has prevented the melting of Antarctica even as the rest of the world warms, then where is the problem? - post by gnaylor

  • The ozone layer absorbs heat in the atmosphere, but the emergence of the hole – almost the size of North America – has cooled temperatures, resulting in more ice.

    However following a ban on CFCs the hole in the ozone layer is expected to repair, causing temperatures in the South Pole to rise again.

    • If Antarctica has more ice as a result of all this, surely it is nothing more than nature healing itself. Who are we to try and control nature? - post by gnaylor
