Space launches are changing the chemistry of Earth’s atmosphere, studies warn – here’s what can be done | The-14
Rocket launches and satellite burnups may harm ozone and heat the stratosphere. Experts urge a circular space economy to protect Earth’s atmosphere now.
Healing of the Ozone Layer Shows Power of Science and Global Unity | Happy Eco News
The healing of the ozone layer shows how science and global unity can repair Earth’s natural shield, offering hope for tackling today’s climate and environmental challenges.
The ozone hole over Antarctica closed unusually early in 2025, and scientists believe there is a reason that almost no one is looking at
For once, there is climate news that feels like a breath of fresh air. Scientists report that the 2025 Antarctic ozone hole was the smallest and
Ozone in the stratosphere protects us from UV.

Hole in Antarctic ozone layer shrinks to smallest since 2019, scientists say
EU’s Copernicus monitoring service hails ‘reassuring sign’ of progress observed this year in hole’s size and duration

NASA, NOAA Rank 2025 Ozone Hole as 5th Smallest Since 1992
The ozone hole over the Antarctic was small in 2025 compared to previous years and remains on track to recover later this century. The hole this year was the fifth smallest since 1992, the year a landmark international agreement to phase out ozone-depleting chemicals began to take effect.
We're Putting Lots Of Transition Metals Into The Stratosphere. That's Not Good.
We successfully plugged the hole in the ozone layer that was discovered in the 1980s by banning ozone depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). But, it seems we might be unintentionally creating another potential atmospheric calamity by using the upper atmosphere to destroy huge constellations of satellites after a very short (i.e. 5 year) lifetime. According to a new paper by Leonard Schulz of the Technical University of Braunschweig and his co-authors, material from satellites that burn up in the atmosphere, especially transition metals, could have unforeseen consequences on atmospheric chemistry - and we’re now the biggest contributor of some of those elements.
Think CFCs were bad? Meet BFCs! But in the hands of my timeline, it makes for something more optimistic...and exotic.
