What will become of our precious O-zone layer in the next couple of years?

Posts here are generally on the right path.\nThe ozone hole is actually a NATURAL phenomena.  It occurs every year over Antarctica because of the cold weather and circulation patterns there.\n\nHowever, the hole was shown to be getting larger the past few decades.  This is primarily due to the use of Chloroflorocarbons... propellants in spray cans.  As most of the world has found replacements and usage has dropped, the damage is beginning to decrease.  However, CFCS have a resident time in the atmosphere of about a century... so it is believed the effects will continue to linger for a while before relaxing.\n\nI just found this link:\nhttp://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/\nwhich allows you to keep tabs on the current hole and see how it compares to previous years.  It appears the area of the hole has grown larger the past few decades... but the intensity of the minimum has decreased.  So it depends upon how you look at it!\n\nWish you well,\nGod bless,\nShane

it will lose its magnetising powers

i lived there 2 years ago and it will probably get a little cool again...i remember thinking it was so warm and then a cold front came back in

I hope you mean the ozone layer, rather than a lair!\n\nBut, no, that is not true, and whoever told you that is now laughing at you!

if you don't know by now...wait a couple years.

It is too early to tell but with Global Warming the chances are getting better and better!\nBut it would be pretty weak.

Probably in January next year

Pretty cool back in 1998, pretty lame now.\n\nMy prediction is that no one will join them.

not yet..it should realease in feb next year

i agree debris would be the larger problem in the near future.\nIts all about time scale and which two planets, it might not affect our lifetime. On the other hand our neighborhood as become pretty calm and not so much traffic as when the planets were forming, I suspect it will only get calmer and more boring unless the sun does some crazy stuff.

Depends where you are.  Here it will probably be really cold again.. minus 17 Celsius last year. Brrrrrrrr!

the condition of the o zone layer and aptmoshpere and the position of the light coming into the aptmoshpere

All highly speculative give our limited time recording history.\n\nHowever, loss of circulation in the core would lead to loss of magnetic shielding and heavy flux of solar wind. It is believed this will make life very difficult for surface dwellers. Since the field is now weakening and is expected to pass through a minimum within the next few thousand years, we won't have to wait for hundreds of millions of years to find out!\n\nAlso given what little history we know, we expect that a few really big geologic shocks are in store before the end and our civilization isn't likely to make it through those. i.e. we're F'd before any of the really long term (and hard to predict) ends come about

You will continue to change for the next year or two.

try posting this question next year around Janaury, maybe you'll get answers by then...
