it's amazing how the Earth can heal...

First, CFC molecules are so heavy you can pour them from a bucket to another. No one came with a reasonable explanation on how they could reach 15 km high in the atmosphere. Second, UV splits O2 molecules in two, leading to Ozone creation. So basically UV is the fire and O3 is simply akin to smoke. Disappearance of the smoke due to CFC has no consequence on the fire - the breaking of O2 molecules. Finally, the Ozone hole over south pole just follows the weather - bigger hole in cold winter, smaller in hot summer, simply because Ozone creation is also linked to temperature. More sunlight = more UV = more O2 molecules broken down = more Ozone.

I love that you did a video about this and I totally agree that we should celebrate victories like that more. Also we should point out those science and policy wins more. Similar to this topic is the on of acid rain and catalytic converters in cars. Climate change deniers often say that the forests didn't die as science claimed back in the day (don't remember the year) but they completely ignore the fact that there were huge changes made in most of the combustion engines. It's very frustrating.

You're right. We heard for decades about the ozone depletion problrm but never got much of an update. It vanished from the news. In somewhat of the same vein: you never hear the upside of more CO2 in the atmosphere. Plants love CO2 & as CO2 increases so does vegetation as much as 15% recently (but i apologize that I dont know where this was observed & recorded).

According to Guardian, and also reported in Aus (ABC), 17,000 tonnes of CFC was released in ASIA in 2017-2019. Such a release would have produced some extreme hot spots in the world around 2019-2020. A depressing result since I spent most of 1991 taking CFCs out of factory sites. And I only gathered 21 tonnes - which was destroyed in a controlled manner.

Thank you for the update about the ozone. I remember the talk about how we were all doomed and we will need to live underground. It is good to know that the action taken years ago will give some hope. It reminds me of a "Frank and Ernest" comic strip from the 80's it pictures the earth and shows the ozone then shows Antarctica and the caption read UH-Ozone. I just hope that people will have the same mindset for our climate crisis as they did for the ozone in the 80's.

This video hit home. In the early 90’s, I worked New Zealand coaching alpine ski racing at Mount Hutt Ski Area. Four years, six months per year, May thru October, we’d spending 6 days a week above 6,000 feet above sea level, returning to the northern hemisphere in time for winter. By the second half of 90’s I’d had several skin lesions biopsied from my face, ultimately determined to be pre-cancerous. I always wondered what became of the ozone holes. Back then, it was common to go to work knowing there was no ozone layer above you. Despite using sunblock any exposed skin would get absolutely cooked. I can tell you first hand an ozone layer is a very good thing to have over your head! Thank you again for the update.

Your science of the ozone layer is quite a bit off. First off the ozone in the ozone layer has a half life of about 3 days. If it stops being produced it will be gone in a couple weeks, no CFCs needed. The UVC in sunlight is what creates it, and in large amounts, enough to continuously replenish the natural decay. The amount of UVC hitting the atmosphere is enough to produce way more ozone than we see because the ozone produced in the upper atmosphere is enough to shield the lower layers, it is in equilibrium. The concentration of ozone is directly proportional to the intensity of sunlight, more sunlight, more ozone, less sunlight, less ozone. As a matter of fact the concentration of ozone above you decreases every night and goes back up in the morning. Since the polar regions have months without any sunlight, the ozone completely disappears over the poles every year, a real live "hole in the ozone layer" but it is completely natural. The south pole is worse because it gets much colder (no ocean under Antarctica) this causes microscopic ice crystals to form in the upper atmosphere which act as catalysts ripping ozone apart, thus the south polar "hole" takes a lot longer to recover in the spring, the air has to heat up enough for the ice to melt. This equilibrium of ozone and sunlight is a buffered system, you can increase the ozone decay rate (such as from CFCs) and it makes very little difference. The problem is that if the decay rate gets high enough to be greater than the rate sunlight can create it the system goes out of equilibrium and the entire ozone layer would be gone in a few weeks and there would be nothing we could do to stop it. The amazing thing here is that the response was swift and effective. And probably DID save the human race. Even though almost everyone had (and still does) a completely wrong idea of what is going on. BTW CFCs and cousins are completely unreactive with ozone, the problem is they are so stable they slowly float into the upper atmosphere where the UVC is much higher intensity and that rips the molecule apart freeing the flourine, which is a catalyst that destroys ozone. So we replace an incredibly stable molecule (otherwise known as "safe" compound, you can breath it, eat it and it doesn't harm you) with things that are slightly harmful but get destroyed in the lower atmosphere were the by products can't harm ozone.

wow great info, this is why i love the viewers of our channel such smart people. Great stuff thanks...and wow we sure dodged a major bullet on that one.

I have wondered about this for years now, and haven't found an answer yet. Maybe you can answer my question? Why do we have an ozone layer problem at all, when we have every major city in the world polluting the air with ozone from cars, and other sources? Is their some reason the ozone pollution doesn't reach the ozone layer, or some other reason? I'm open to a logical reason, but no where have I found an answer.

The most reasonable explanation for the hole in the ozone... and it's location over Antarctica has to do with lich charged particles and the direction of the flux generated from the earths magnetic core..... if you build an electromagnets and charge it's coils electrons shift in the core corresponding to the directional movement of the electricity in the coil as well as perpendicularly to the direction of the windings... this creates a mass concentration of flux at the poles of the core. these flux concentrations are actually moving in a circuit... out one pole and into the other... Antarctica would be one or the other. one side particles are charged by the time they reach the other side but due to like charges the circle around the vortices instead of driving though the other like charged particle... and back to the core...

Third video in and I'm in love! This very topic has been on my mind! This and Acid Rain.!

Cool Video Ricky! I work in the airline industry, and we are right in the middle of replacing our handheld Halon 1211 fire extinguishers for what is branded as HALOTRON fire extinguishers, which is a non Ozone depleting alternate fire extinguishing agent. The chemical formula is 2,2-Dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane mixed with Tetrafluoromethane... Whatever that is LOL! According the Montreal Protocol, which was adopted by the ICAO unchanged, we will have to replace all handheld Halon 1211 fire extinguishers before the end of 2024. 3 extinguishers per Boeing 737, that are a lot of extinguishers to replace! But imagine the worldwide fleet of commercial aircraft, that are tens of thousands of extinguishers that need to be replaced the coming 2 years. We already have replaced all tiny fire extinguishers in the lavatories, these are to supress a fire in the waaste receptacle. For the fixed fire extinguishers in the engines and cargo holds we still have some time to replace them, in new aircraft they are already banned. Btw, did you know that Halon 1211 and Halon 1311 are already forbidden to produce for decades? Since 1995 or so Halon is no longer produced and all Halon in scrapped extinguishers is recovered and hold in Halon Banks at many places around the world so it can be reused in new produced extinguishers.. At some point these Halon Banks will start to destruct this halon into other chemicals, used in the chemical industry. The Airline industry has had an exception of using Halon, because there were no alternates that worked as good as Halon. but the coming years this will also come to an end and good enough alternate fire extinguishing agents have been developped.

That part frustrates me too, but that's why I watch your channel - the optimistic view on what CAN we do and how CAN we improve things always helps to make my day. I do believe we will move on from fossil fuels, my kids are already growing into a world where car charges in garage and there is nothing burning in the house at all, so a generation shift will for sure move things forward in fast pace.

How do CFCs get into the upper atmosphere? CFCs are significantly heavier than O2 or N2 and should sink to the bottom of the atmosphere.

The difference between ozone layer depletion and global warming is the former wasn't politicized and exaggerated in the way the latter has been. The problem of ozone depletion was met with a scientific response that resulted in little or no negative impact on society. The same can't be said of climate change when the timeline is exaggerated (10 years or we all die!!!), technical responses are attacked (No nuclear power!!!), and the real impacts on society are brushed aside (petroleum workers will just be retrained to program computers!). And that doesn't even consider the fact that the science surrounding ozone depletion was much more solid (as in it was incontrovertible, because we had clear evidence of its diminishment, etc) compared to climate change where there's still debate over rates of change, etc. Hopefully we can approach the climate with the same rationality that we did the ozone layer. But based on what's happened so far (Greta Thunberg, anyone) I'm not optimistic.

It's not entirely fair, though to be honest even I have little sympathy for them, to lay the blame on all the companies that have a profit to lose by going green. They're the easy villains. It's easy for us to say, but one of the reasons why they're going to lose out on any potential profit is how many people can even afford to make the switch. It's easy for those of us that can afford and positioned to adopt new greener tech, and we can think that the government can just subsidize everyone else, but that kind of thinking has its own costs, and it can be arguably worse for everyone for all the side effects, both political and economic, that tend to come along with that. Most of us are going to keep with the cars we already have until it's dead, even if a green alternative was cheaper in every measure, and that's because we have a tendency to not change things unless we absolutely have to. Even small businesses will behave the same. Big companies and investors know this behavior all too well, which is one reason why it's so hard for them to just pivot and jump on the bandwagons that we casual observers are so easily convinced about. Life is too busy for change, but it does happen eventually, and that's where we need to be prepared. The best we can hope for is not to constantly criticize these people (though some is warranted) but to make sure they know what options they have to save (in money or other resources) where they can when they can.

Also, moving away from a fuel base encomeny means we dont have to waste gas to transport gas around the country and that also means we don't need large cooling tanks under gas stations that also requires power to keep all that fuel at a cool temperature. Future tech also wont require as many rare earth metals such as magnets lowering the need even for those in electric cars. Moving over to heart/cool pumps also reduces the need for some of those metals as well. Fun fact, a lot of the cost of a battery is just active carbon - if we replace that carbon with another element we could see batteries come down by 50% Sodium+other element that it wouldnt better even for that "upfront" cost because for every battery that can hit the grid - that translates to less power generation needed from burning peaker plants and thus over all you wouldnt have any or so lower of a foot print that it would be a "real crime" to be driving an ICE car in 30-50 more years from now.

@@adr2t You're full of shit to say "even if it comes from coal" because almost all of it comes from coal.

This is a great story and I was reminded of it when Greta Thunberg was saying "how dare you". I don't mean to bash a teenager - frankly the people who put her up to it should be ashamed of themselves - but young people need to learn a thing or two before they start criticizing others, especially their elders. The waterways around where I live were very polluted in the 60s and 70s, but now they are clean and kids are swimming in them, and I'm talking about the immediate vicinity of a major city. You're right, there are some real positive accomplishments that we can take pride in as we apply ourselves to modern problems.

You played right into their hands. The Greta persona was meticulously manufactured for that reason: here's a puppet to push the message we want and you're a monster if you criticize her because "she's only a child".

It's fairly simplistic to only point out fluorine as culpable for depletion of stratospheric ozone. You're better than that...

God is the answer

I agree. Collective stupidity can become collective brilliance (occasionally). Thanks for the party hat.

Politicians should stay out of science until they get the necessary education and experience in fields that they know absolutely noting about. Scientists should be allowed to do research and try to prove hypothesis even if it is opposing. They should not be penalized or "canceled or threatened" by society but proven right or wrong by people in their fields of study.

The real concern is how the scientific community is so often manipulated by government these days. We're all aware of the "corporate study", but when universities and peer reviewed magazines start pushing a narrative rather than just the facts and raw science then we're really in trouble.
