In 40 years time, Ozone layer’s recovery to free the earth from climate change

Still, it is possible forthcoming data on ozone levels prompts some concerns that the ozone layer is not recovering as quickly as the report concludes, he said. Progress would likely also be slowed if humans pursue geoengineering to reverse global warming by injecting sunlight-reflecting particles into the upper atmosphere, Newman said. “The Antarctic ozone hole is the poster child of ozone depletion,” Newman said.

Fatinoyes’ murder and this cruel world
The murder of Kehinde and Bukola Fatinoye, a few hours after the new year, has made me pensive and downcast ever since.

As they escaped the scene, the killers dragged with them the Fatinoyes’ 23-year-old son, Oreoluwa, who they abducted. Very few murders of that cruel brew have made my heart this brittle, getting me inconsolable and distraught. The killing of the Fatinoyes has all the trappings of revenge, cult or drug peddlers’ assassination.
