Re: more scary stuff
The ozone hole was caused by a volcanic eruptions in Antarctica during the 1980s and 1990s! It was most certainly not _caused by_ our pollution. The reason why the hole has decreased in size is because the effects of the 1991 eruption of Mt Pinatubo have slowy been filtered out.
