I thought the same when reading the article. It consistently mentions that chlorine level is decreasing, reducing ozone depletion, which means ozone is indeed still declining, just at a slowing rate. Since CFCs have a lifetime of 50-100 years, I guess it's reasonable to assume depletion will continue to slow over the next decades. Another question is whether it will increase again at some point. The article states: > Scientists speculate that the accelerated healing of Antarctic ozone hole might occur somewhere from the year 2060 to 2080. However, a total healing of the same cannot be guaranteed. By "accelerated healing" they probably mean re-accumulation of ozone, but I'm not sure.
