For anyone else that was curious since the last big news was that the hole in the ozone layer was getting smaller, but doesn't feel like reading the hole article. it still is, the hole expands and contracts seasonally. And while this expansion was exceptional, scientists believe it is due to temporary contributing factors and not a reversal of the overall trend.
