"Closes" the ozone hole by 2050


Restoration of the ozone hole scientists predict, as evidenced by a report of UN agencies. The report, prepared by 300 scientists credited to the Kyoto Protocol's success set the thinning of the ozone layer and therefore the reduce greenhouse gases. The ozone layer which protects the earth from ultraviolet rays of the sun, provided it will get rid of harmful chemicals and will be restored by mid-century, but this process will take more time over both poles of the Earth. "During the past decade, the ozone layer and point over the Arctic and Antarctica have stopped falling, but not even begin to rise," noted the report prepared at the study World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and United Nations Programme for Environment (UNEP). "As a result of the phasing out of substances that cause depletion of the ozone layer under the Kyoto Protocol, the layer that is outside the two Poles expected to restore the levels were before 1980 sometime before the middle of this century, "note the researchers. However, the ozone hole that forms over Antarctica each spring is expected to return to the levels it had before 1980 at the end of the 21st century, they conclude.
