    Is it possible that we get less natural UV protection from the atmosphere now? I’m just making a wild guess but we’ve had so many environmental changes and climate change has made summers so much more severe.

      Yeah, that was one of the things with the cfcs causing damage to the ozone layer. I would also say a lot more pollution (including microplastics) just generally everywhere, clothing showing off more skin, and that smoking isnt causing other things first.

        The ozone layer is generally back in place because that was like the last time an industry agreed to cease its harmful climate change inducing behaviors.

          It isn’t actually. It stopped getting worse and is very slowly recovering. The hole is still mostly there and many parts of the ozone layer are still thinner.
