+thexfile Subscriber² Posted September 18, 2024 Subscriber² Share Posted September 18, 2024 The ozone hole over the South Pole has expanded to an unprecedented 26 million square kilometers, making it three times the size of Brazil. This alarming development has caught the attention of scientists worldwide. Read on to discover the factors behind this environmental crisis and its potential impact on our planet. Scientists believe that the Hunga Tonga eruption played a significant role in the recent expansion. Antje Inness explained, "Water vapor could have led to increased formation of polar stratospheric clouds, where CFCs can react and accelerate ozone depletion. Water vapor can also contribute to cooling the Antarctic stratosphere, promoting the formation of these clouds and resulting in a more robust polar vortex." https://dailygalaxy.com/2024/09/ozone-hole-reaches-record-size-3-times-larger-than-brazil-scientists-warn-environmental-impact/ hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1446424-ozone-hole-reaches-record-size-3-times-larger-than-brazil-scientists-warn-of-environmental-impact/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
