RedOrbit: The ozone layer that protects the planet from harmful ultraviolet radiation is on the road to recovery, scientists from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced on Wednesday. According to BBC News environmental analyst Roger Harrabin, a new report compiled by an international team of 300 scientists reveals that the ozone layer is starting to show signs of thickening, and the ozone hole that appears annually over Antarctica has stopped...

'Signs of recovery' in ozone layer
2014-09-11 01:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: The ozone layer that shields the earth from cancer-causing ultraviolet rays is showing early signs of thickening after years of depletion, a UN study says. The ozone hole that appears annually over Antarctica has also stopped growing bigger every year. The report says it will take a decade before the hole starts to shrink. Scientists say the recovery is entirely due to political determination to phase out the man-made CFC gases destroying ozone. The study was published by researchers...

Scientists say the ozone layer is recovering 12 minutes

Associated Press: Earth's protective but fragile ozone layer is beginning to recover, largely because of the phase-out since the 1980s of certain chemicals used in refrigerants and aerosol cans, a U.N. scientific panel reported Wednesday in a rare piece of good news about the health of the planet. Scientists said the development demonstrates that when the world comes together, it can counteract a brewing ecological crisis. For the first time in 35 years, scientists were able to confirm a statistically significant...

Ozone layer shows signs of recovery after 1987 ban on damaging gases
2014-09-10 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The ozone layer that shields life from the sun's cancer-causing ultraviolet rays is showing its first sign of thickening after years of dangerous depletion, a UN study said on Wednesday. Experts said it showed the success of a 1987 ban on manmade gases that damage the fragile high-altitude screen, an achievement that would help prevent millions of cases of skin cancer and other conditions. The ozone hole that appears annually over Antarctica has also stopped growing bigger every year, though...
