"As Asia Keeps Cool, Scientists Worry About the Ozone Layer"

In Asia, in the China and India area to be specific, heat is really killing them. About four months ago, a couple of scientists discovered that the “hole” made by the world’s use of aerosol spray cans, aging refrigerators and old air-conditioners had caused the ozone layer to once again expand, stretching once more to the record size of 2001. Now we can't let any more damage come to the ozone layer, for it protects us from the sun's ultra-violet rays. But now many scientists are concerned that with all these air-conditioners booming, more problems could occur.

The "hole" was found above Antarctica, and was mending very slowly. Scientists put the blame on 'chlorofluorocarbons', a chemical used in refrigerants. Some scientists are now saying that the damage to the ozone layer could take over a quarter of a century longer to heal, which is way more than they predicted.

I find this very scary. What would happen if out entire ozone layer disappeared? What would happen if the part of the ozone layer above Antarctica never healed? These are some of the questions I have, and would like answered. I think that everyone should stop using aerosol sprays as much, and the old refrigerants, too. They are really damaging our enviroment, and if our enviroment is damaged, we won't be able to live. So save our Earth!
