earthsky.org/earth/ozone-hole-continues-shrinking-in-2022 "The annual Antarctic ozone hole reached an average area of just under 9 million square miles (23.2 million square km) between September 7, 2022, and October 13, 2022. This depleted area of the ozone layer over the South Pole was slightly smaller than the average for the same period last year and generally continued the overall shrinking trend of recent years..." My notes: Hope this is good news that will continue & not just a greenwashing act.

Sounds like good news, but I always worry these small positives will undo a lot of needed climate and polution goals. I can already see the headlines of "the Ozone hole is fixing itself, so why stop burning coal?".

Sounds like good news, although, yes...it's also possible that it's 'greenwashing'...one can only hope

I'd like to see information in regards to Venus' ozone layer and if it's shrinking. Compare it to Earth's and then see if it's the same equivalent over the years.
