The hole in the ionosphere above Antarctica will take 43 years to HEAL. The thinning of the layer above the Arctic will take about 22 years to get restored. The article did NOT say how long it would take for the HEAT-trapping HFC to dissipate. But I know from other readings that scientists predict the next 30 years will be continuing with the RECORD HEAT.
Thanks.....that was a very good link.

Greenhouse gases do not trap heat. They first absorb heat and then immediately radiate it back out. It just slows down heat's escape to outer space. Plus, the earth has been cooling for the past 7 years -- so CO2 seems to be underperforming. We need to create more CO2.
