The world would be on track for a collapse of the ozone layer and an additional 2.5 degrees Celsius of global warming by the end of the century if it hadn't agreed in the 1980s to ban CFCs, chemicals ...
A study finds that ozone-destroying CFCs banned in the 1980s are back in use, but it's not clear where or why. Reading time 3 minutes Thirty years after countries agreed to ease up on the use of ...
As the ozone layer recovers, it’s also intensifying global warming. Researchers predict that by 2050, ozone will rank just behind carbon dioxide as a driver of heating, offsetting many of the benefits ...
The language is dry and academic, as is appropriate for the abstract of a scientific paper in the prestigious journal Nature. The research described in the short paper, however, fell like a scientific ...

A chemical production loophole could delay the recovery of Earth’s ozone layer by up to 11 years
A hole in the Montreal Protocol could delay the recovery of Earth’s ozone layer by about 7 years. New research found that the ...
Despite a global ban in place since 2010, atmospheric concentrations of five ozone-depleting chemicals have reached a record high. Chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, are entirely man-made gases used in a ...
The concentrations of some ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere are increasing rapidly, scientists warn, despite the production of these chemicals having been banned globally ...
THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE (WHTM) — On September 25, 1974, Professors Mario Molina and F. Sherwood Rowland published a paper in the science journal Nature which would lead to widespread bans of chemicals to ...
An international research team led by the University of Bremen has detected chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in Earth's atmosphere for the first time in historical measurements from 1951—20 years earlier ...
