Environment 3: Assholes and the Environment

The reason for the title of this post is that it follows nicely on from both the earlier Environment posts and the post, 'Assholes'. In fact, the kind of behaviour described here was indicated in my 'asshole spectrum' graphic. 

So:

Today, 01/07/2016, we are hearing in the news that there are encouraging signs that the ozone hole over Antarctica might be starting to 'heal'.

In view of the current concern about CO2 in the atmosphere, I thought it might be informative to look back over the history of the ozone problem and see if there are lessons to be learnt. I was going to do that, but then I found this article which does it better than I could. Its references and sources look sound to me, and I've followed up some, but not all of them. Do check for yourself ...
