Have you ever heard of the ozone hole? If you were born after the 1990s, the chances are you might not have. If you were born before, the chances are you have forgotten all about it. But just before the turn of the century, it was on everybody's lips. The biggest environmental disaster humanity had encountered up to that point. In our new season, we will tell you all about what caused the ozone hole, how it was discovered and how the world came together to fix it. We will also show you how the lessons learnt then can help us (in solving the climate crisis) today. This is the story of the ozone hole. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
