[QUOTE="Nate:431055"]From Yahoo.com TOKYO - The ozone hole over the Antarctic is likely to begin contracting in the future and may disappear by 2050 because of a reduction in the release of chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone-depleting gases, according to a team of Japanese scientists. The findings are based on a series of numerical simulations carried out by Eiji Akiyoshi of the National Institute for Environmental Studies, near Tokyo, using projected emissions of chlorofluorocarbons and other gases blamed for the ozone hole. According to a report posted Friday on the institute's Web site, the hole is at its largest now but is likely to gradually start contracting around 2020 and disappear by around 2050. The team's findings are in line with research by other scientists. Some, however, have suggested the hole won't heal until much later because old refrigerators and air-conditioning systems — many in the United States and Canada — are still releasing ozone-killing chemicals. Both countries curbed those chemicals in newer products. Satellites and ground stations have been monitoring the ozone hole over the South Pole since its discovery in the 1980s. Chlorofluorocarbon levels in the earth's atmosphere have been declining since the mid-1990s due to international efforts to reduce emissions. ________ Sometimes we do things alright, even with everyone thinking we can't. The government, along with most of the rest of the world, have been imposing regulations for years to reverse the damage we have done to the ozone. And it is working... ::Cue the flaming remarks.... ...now:: [/QUOTE]
