Aug 1, 2019 at 22:25 comment added Michael Walsby It would be a good thing to continue the war against CFCs, but the war is already largely won. Because it is partly a natural phenomenon there will probably always be a small, seasonal ozone hole over the Antarctic. To talk of a hole is a bit misleading, it's more of a thinning of the ozone layer rather than an actual hole. People don't do much sunbathing at the South Pole, so it is not really a problem there. We need to avid too much sunbathing, but not avoid it completely. Best to avoid sunbeds entirely.
Aug 1, 2019 at 22:04 comment added Zachary Wells Thank you for the additional information Michael. I know that there are other types of cancer and there are bigger fish too fry but are the holes in the ozone layer still a problem? I did notice that you said that it is not much of a concern but if we halted the use of CFC's everywhere then in 50 years give or take would it positively contribute to the environment?
