A groundbreaking study led by scientists at MIT has confirmed that the Antarctic ozone layer is on a steady path to recovery, ...

Chlorofluorocarbons are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, according to new research from the University of Waterloo published in the International Journal of ...

The Arctic has seen rapidly melting sea ice for years and is warming faster ... gases include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which we've been cracking down on since the global agreement known as ...

However, it was unclear whether this recovery of the ozone layer was due to international efforts to reduce emissions of CFCs and other chemicals, or to climate change such as global warming.

While carbon dioxide, or CO2, is the best-known greenhouse gas, several others, including methane and nitrous oxide, also drive global warming ... presence of CFCs, another ozone-depleting ...

The findings may help explain why the Arctic is warming at a much faster rate than the rest of the planet, an observation that has long baffled scientists. Ozone-depleting substances (ODS) are manmade ...

Its warming power is more than 80 times greater ... It has already reduced the presence of CFCs in the atmosphere. This is another ozone-depleting fluorinated gas. In 2016, the Kigali agreement ...
