Ozone Layer Crisis Over Antarctica Affects Local Ecosystems

Reported 3 months ago

Recent studies reveal that the ozone layer over Antarctica has not shrunk significantly even by December, a time of strong sunlight in the region, prompting adaptive changes in local plants and impacting the food chain. This ongoing crisis, exacerbated by climate change and forest fires in Australia, poses risks for Antarctic wildlife and humans, including increased chances of skin cancer and cataracts. Experts stress the importance of reducing carbon emissions to mitigate these effects.
