Well, if you heard the same thing 20 years ago then we will have to wait another 20 years or so to see if it was accurate or not. Please use reminder bot.

May you still be in operation by then. I do imagine your owner wearing a one piece aluminium shiny suit though.

What you heard was green house gasses/ global warming caused by industrial farming, logging & crude oil dependency. The deterioration of Ozone is the result of using CFC from spray cans, Ozone deterioration mostly causes UV poisoning as there is no filter from the sunlight

So is it true. Is it gonna repair itself. And we’re spray cans the main cause. Educate me plz

CheesyBurgs t1_j3uf6p6 wrote

Yes, Ozone repairs itself through simple gravitational forces and atmospheric air composition’s (mostly oxygen) reaction to Sunlight. We have banned commercial CFC usage almost universally for over two decades now. Scientific documents are available all over the net with simple searches. Left over CFC still contributes to global warming but only a small part.

Pretty sure that's why "freon" being used as a refridgerant was discontinued/switched to R134 etc., and automotive paint switched to water-based.

R-22 discontinued as well for stuff like R-410A.

I just wanted to sound smart :P

That’s cool. Some good news for a change on the environmental front.

Yes. Additionally, we came up with a sign "?" that indicates that the immediate sentence before it was a question. It's a nifty new feature of the language, still in beta testing phase, and we would like to hear your thoughts about it.

There is no point of no return, as long as civilisation isn't dead, any long-term improvement is a good improvement.

Though a silly amount of people don't think about the long-term, from politicians, to CEOs, to politic-haters, to people who take sides.

You're confusing the ozone layer with global warming. Nothing to do with each other.

Now they are actually legislating to start the phasing out of HFCs.

BigGreenBallOfLuck t1_j3x0dew wrote

Yeah yeah yeah. I'll believe it when I see it. We get told to do one thing and big corporations are allowed to do another, all for the glory of the coin. Sorry if I seem cynical but I've heard and been fed nothing but lies from those in power. Nothing will change. No one seems to care as long as their 'bubbles' aren't popped.
