As rocket launches surge, scientists warn that emissions could slow the ozone layer’s recovery and disrupt Earth’s upper ...

The rapid rise in global rocket launches could slow the recovery of the vital ozone layer, says Sandro Vattioni. The problem ...

T here's good news for the ozone layer. NOAA's annual analysis of the ozone layer this year showed that levels of ozone-depleting chemicals in the atmosphere had dropped to numbers considered a ...

In rare good news for the planet, the hole in the Earth’s ozone layer is on track to recover completely within decades as harmfule chemicals are phased out, according to a new UN-backed assessment.

Without an adequate ozone layer, life cannot sustain itself on Earth. For that reason — and despite protests from businesses that profited from manufacturing and using CFCs — the international ...

The healing ozone layer offers hope for the fight against climate change. But only to an extent. Because curbing greenhouse gas emissions is a much more encompassing task, requiring us to wholly ...

In 2015, scientists at NASA predicted that the Ozone Hole would be half closed by 2020. That hasn’t happened. Other scientists have forecasted that the hole will not begin to disappear until 2040 or ...

The ozone layer sits toward the bottom of the stratosphere, roughly 20 to 40 kilometers (66,000 and 131,000 feet) above the ground. It gets its name from its high concentration of ozone, ...

Equally, the healing of the ozone layer is by no means a done deal, said Al Tompkins on Poynter, and is dependent on us not doing “anything dumb”.

It's been 40 years since groundbreaking research announced the discovery of a hole in the ozone layer, a revelation that launched a rapid and successful effort to ban chemicals in hairspray ...

Ozone, or O3, occurs in two forms in the atmosphere: what scientists call “good ozone” in the stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere that sits 6 to 31 miles above the surface, and “bad ...
