The hole in the Ozone layer
- Ozone is a special kinda of oxygen in the atmosphere
- The ozone layer blocks UV (ultraviolet) rays from the sun
- It began to disappear over the poles in 1980
- Burning Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) was said to be the main cause
- The ozone has been rebuilding its self since the 1990's as CFC's were phased out
Summary: In the 1980-early 90's the hole in the ozone layer was made to be a much bigger deal than it really was. It was a way of propaganda and just had the population all workers up about having to change all their ways of living when it really just mended its self over the years.
