    It appears that a country somewhere in East Asia has breached rules banning the use of CFCs which caused a hole to emerge in Earth’s ozone layer. The rate at which the ozone is repairing has slowed down, suggesting that there has been a serious violation of the treaty signed by 196 countries. Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii said that all evidence points to a nation in Asia being the source of the renewed production. ‘We show that the rate of decline of atmospheric CFC-11 was constant from 2002 to 2012, and then slowed by about 50 percent after 2012,’ an international team of scientists concluded in a study. ‘This evidence strongly suggests increased CFC-11 emissions from eastern Asia after 2012.’ The ozone layer in the stratosphere, six to 25 miles above Earth’s surface, protects life on the planet from deadly ultraviolet radiation.

    My money is on those pesky Chinese. A billion or so nips all using deodorant and fridges must be the cause.

    No, I said people using deodorants were the cause.

    Lettuce eating vegetarians farting all over the place are the cause.
