#1 Meh, the ozone layer is always in flux, depending on the season. Hard to tell from this article whether they're talking year-to-year averages or not. I'm not inclined to hyperventilate about the ozone hole, but neither am I willing to accept any science news article this terse and uninformative as proof positive of anything.

#2 My Dad the retired communications engineer says it's all keyed to sunspot number. We just reached a peak in the number of sunspots (which indicate the amount of energy the sun is putting out, I think) and it'll be a smaller ozone hole -- and colder weather -- for a decade or so now. (Hey, I don't understand it, I just pass it along.)

#3 To add on to what Jonathan is saying. The (atheist liberals promoting selfish agenda) scientists are taking pictures from outer space during an aurora, which would make it look like there is a huge hole in the ozone. The hole in the ozone data, is skeptical at best.

Aurora: A luminous atmospheric phenomenon appearing as streamers or bands of light sometimes visible in the night sky in northern or southern regions of the earth. It is thought to be caused by charged particles from the sun entering the earth's magnetic field and stimulating molecules in the atmosphere.
