Get your sunscreen on this summer! Sadly, the first-ever ozone hole in the North Pole is forming! Apparently, as the lowest-layer of the atmosphere (the troposphere) warms (due to increased greenhouse gas content), higher atmospheric layers (the stratosphere, containing our protective ozone) cools, enhancing the effect of ozone-destructive chemicals like CFCs....thus leading to this mammoth hole that may stretch as far south as New York.
