In the winter of 1992 (summer in the southern hemisphere),
I was right inside of the ozone hole while climbing Mount Vinson, Antarctica.
The sun was rotating the lower southern sky hardly bright enough to worry about sunburn.
Without feeling the heat from the sun, I did not use sunblock on my face on that day.
I was totally sun-tanned (not burned though) at the end of the day after all-day travel on a glacier.
It was a good lesson about what an ozone hole can do to our skin
and the enormous strength of the UV radiation without the protection of the ozone layer under it.

Thank you, WM, for sharing that most impressive experience.
I remember your trip to the pole because you kindly reported in this space then.
The only experience relating to this issue for me used to be the real nuisance
and discomfort caused by the leakage of AC refrigerant or Freon gas in our
AC at our Michigan home. Each time I called the serviceman he reminded me
of the law resulting from the treaty that allowed only one refill per year as I recall.
At any rate, I wound up replacing AC three times and additional costly repair
for the leakage of the connecting pipe.

In 1987 when Reagan was our president the world political leaders
listened to the scientists and signed the international treaty which,
scientists have figured out now, has saved 443 millions of lives in USA alone.
They are saying the large gaping hole of ozone layer depletion has been recovering.
Unfortunately too many politicians nowadays are not only not listening to scientists
but inventing misinformation or wrong information for the public creating chaos, confusion and
too many deaths of the innocents, especially in dealing with the Pandemic and the climate change.
Obviously we must elect our political leaders in the future who listen to the consensus of scientists
for the sake of survival of Homo sapiens on this planet.
