The discovery of the Antarctic "ozone hole" byBritish Antarctic Survey scientists Farman, Gardiner and Shanklin(first reported in a paper in Nature in May 1985) came as a shock to the scientific community, because the observed decline in polar ozone was far larger than anyone had anticipated. ...
The ozone hole should soon start to diminish because of this decline. We demonstrate a parametric model of ozone hole area that is based upon a new algorithm for estimating chlorine and bromine levels over Antarctica and late spring Antarctic stratospheric temperatures. This model explains 95% of ...

When did the Precambrian era end? When did the Great Barrier Reef start to die? When did coral bleaching start in the Great Barrier Reef? When was the Vredefort crater discovered? When did the most recent ice age occur? When did oceans first appear on the geological time scale?
Damage to Ozone Layer Gets Worse In the middle of winter, when snow is falling in many parts of the United States, scientists have sounded a warning to people who plan to spend many hours in the sun this summer.The warning: The sun's summertime rays are more dangerous than once thought...
will be thinner over the United States this summer.The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach the earth.The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.Ozone depletion is the result of a complex set of ...
At least the writers were laughing right there with us, as Duckie (Jon Cryer) proclaims, “His name is Blane? That’s a major appliance.” But nonetheless, the upper class high school golden boy played by Andrew McCarthy did eventually find his romantic way with Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwa...
There is still a hole in the ozone layer, but it's shrinking, according to NASA. There has been a 20% decrease in the hole thanks to a ban on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). "We see very clearly that chlorine from CFCs is going down in the ozone hole, and that less ozone depletion is...
Jaron Lanier, founder of the visual programming lab, coined the term ‘virtual reality’ this year. 1986: Glasnost, ozone hole NOAA 1986: Glasnost, ozone hole Other notable words: arena football, bungee jump, junk e-mail, sippy cup, sound-bite, SUV American scientists in October 1986 ...
They almost had to take him to the emergency room but he got better, then he did it again. The cleaning women who clean the house two doors down shriek like banshees whenever they get out of the car and run madly to the house trying to avoid them like bullets. Like the screaming ...
