The thinning of the ozone layer has been recorded by scientist since the 1970s.IN 1985 ,it was reported that stratospheric ozone concentration over the antartica had declined by 40% sine 1977.The atmosphere in this area has very low ozone concentrations,resulting in the formation of an ozone hole.An Ozone hole has now appeared above the artics well.Consequently,ultraviolet radiation has risen by 7% in a decade
in the northen hemisphere and in the southern hemisphere,the increase is 10%

Do you want to know the effect?
Just imagine, every 1% drop in ozone concentration results in a 2% increase in the intensity of the most harmful type of ultraviolet radiation.Surely..our environment will suffer a lot.

Sadly, the ozone layer has fell into a deep depression that has lasted for years and it doesn't show any signs of bouncing back. The poor bastard has just given up.

It's getting smaller since CFC's were banned in the 1980's. Global warming is the new problem and it's way scarier than The o-zone layer.
