Why Don’t We Hear About the Ozone Hole Anymore?

Hot Mess is a show about how climate change impacts all of us, and about how we can create a better future for our planet and ourselves. Premiering April 19th, 2018!

Why Don’t We Hear About the Ozone Hole Anymore?

We’ve Ignored Climate Change For More Than a Century Episode 8 | 4m 17s | CC

We don’t hear much about the hole in the ozone layer anymore. That’s because we’ve all but fixed it, thanks to consumer choices and a massive international agreement called the Montreal Protocol. Can we learn anything from this environmental success story that will help us fix climate change?
