in the air.

And, of course, the reasons that there is a "hole" at the poles are
(1) very little sunlight, so very little ozone is being created.
(2) solar wind/auroras, which will aggressivly accelerate ozone's
natural breakdown process.

It always made me laugh when they acted so......earnest about the hole
in the ozone layer at the south pole. Exactly where you would expect to
find one, right there where particles stream down the magnetic pole and
slam in to the atmosphere. Bet there is one over the northern magnetic
pole too. Another one of those DUH things the alarmists use to control
those that don't know better.

The Antarctic ozone hole is centered, by a large margin, much closer to
the geographic pole than to the magnetic pole.

An Arctic hole has weakly turned up at times. Ozone holes are mainly an
Antarctic problem due to colder temperatures and to winds blowing more
steadily along latitude lines than in/near the Arctic.

When an Arctic hole does shows up, it will be in an Arctic polar vortex,
which could be over/near northern Canada or over Siberia because the land
is colder than the Arctic Ocean. The Antarctic polar vortex gets better
defined and generally sticks close to the geographic pole.
