ESA - Ozone hole goes large again

The infamous ozone hole of the 1970-1980s that led to the Montreal Protocol  in 1987 "to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of these harmful substances".

I suspect, it is e.g. this ozone hole that has contributed to the now so common anthropogenic or manmade accusations e.g. surrounding the Global Warming hoax and Climate Change religion.

I blogged here recently about the much underreported massive eruption of the submarine Hunga-Tonga volcano in January 2022. Almost like a blindspot in our climate crisis obsessed times. We can be lucky it was a submarine volcano.

"Measurements from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite show that this year’s ozone hole over Antarctica is one of the biggest on record. The hole, which is what scientists call an ‘ozone depleting area,’ reached a size of 26 million sq km on 16 September 2023. This is roughly three times the size of Brazil. ...
The size of the ozone hole [naturally] fluctuates on a regular basis. From August to October, the ozone hole increases in size – reaching a maximum between mid-September and mid-October. ...

Although it may be too early to discuss the reasons behind the current ozone concentrations, some researchers speculate that this year’s unusual ozone patterns could be associated with the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai in January 2022. ... “The eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano in January 2022 injected a lot of water vapour into the stratosphere which only reached the south polar regions after the end of the 2022 ozone hole. ..."
