This article is about the ozone layer and how it is recovering faster than scientists expected. Scientists discovered a problem in the ozone layer in the 1970’s. The ozone layer protects the Earth from the blazing Sun. The problem with the ozone layer was that it had been getting thinner. Today we know that this was caused by chlorofluorocarbons a chemical that was used in Styrofoam and other products. The ozone layer is far above the Earth’s surface. After discovering the source of the ozone problem, one-hundred and ninety-six countries signed the Montreal Protocol. The purpose of this agreement was to reduce the use of chlorofluorocarbons and restore the ozone layer. A report published by over three-hundred scientists from the United Nations recently announced that by 2050 the ozone layer will be recovered to the 1980 level. I think that this is very important because it will help stop global warming.
I did the same article, what a coincidence, again!
ReplyDeleteI like your article!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, a wonderful summary. Was it the 1980's or 1970 in the article? You state both in your summary. I like how you included the name of the law regarding the ozone protection. Thorough, yet not too much detail. Good job
