GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE !! (Ozone Layer)
#17
As a point of interest, I find this quote very interesting.....

Quote:One finding that puzzled researchers was the October 2015 reading that showed the biggest ozone hole on record over Antarctica.The scientists believe that a key contributor to the record hole was volcanic activity.
"After an eruption, volcanic sulphur forms tiny particles and those are the seeds for Polar Stratospheric Clouds," Prof Solomon told Science in Action.
"You get even more of these clouds when you have a recent major volcanic eruption and that leads to additional ozone loss."

I find it interesting because Mount Erebus sits almost directly under the Ozone hole and has been erupting almost constantly since 1972.
