Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – In the late 80s, a warning from scientists around the world was heard; the Ozone layer, which protects the Earth from the sun’s harmful rays, had a hole in it. Without timely intervention from governments and individuals around the world, the results would be catastrophic.
In September of 1987, in order to combat this cataclysmic event, all 197 parties in the United Nations signed the Montreal Protocol to reduce the emissions of chemicals that contributed to the hole in the Ozone layer. To date, this is the only time in history a treaty received unanimous participation.
Now, nearly some 40 years later, the @noaa has concluded that that hole is getting smaller and smaller as the years pass and, if continued at current rates, the hole in the ozone layer will close around 2070.
