The ozone layer above the earth serves as a protective shield against harmful ultraviolet radiation. In recent years, this layer has been getting thinner due to the presence of chlorine and bromine that eat away ozone molecules. This year the hole was slightly smaller than the previous years. Researchers say that the local weather was responsible for this shrinkage. Ozone...

LiveScience: The infamous hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica may have caused warming in southern Africa over the past two decades, researchers say. However, as the hole in the ozone layer continues to shrink due to international policies that limit the chemicals that eat away at the ozone, temperatures may cool down in southern Africa, the study researchers also said. Ozone is a cousin to the oxygen molecules people breathe, consisting of three atoms of oxygen instead of the regular oxygen molecule's...
