Are you just mad that the Montreal Protocol worked?

Are you serious? It "just went away?" CFCs were identified as the driving force, and the Montreal Protocol was ratified by nearly all nations in 1987, banning nearly all uses of CFC. And nations actually put it into effect; it wasn't just a paper agreement. It took decades but natural processes went back closer to its old equilibrium.

Eco activists are too alarmed. DO your own research.

Funny that article doesn't mention https://research.noaa.gov/2022/03/09/two-additional-regions-... Were they just asleep?
The only reason I can think of is to avoid diplomatic problems. When scientific reporting doesn’t make sense it is either due to ignorance or politics, and I doubt the ESA has an issue with ignorance.
Sure, and there goes any credibility they had.
Could have just stated the facts, not even written any of the "Why is the ozone hole so big?" section.
Had they presented facts from their space-borne instruments, analyzed said data honestly, no leading thoughts - would have been plenty; they'd have an interesting article and more importantly not lied (or seen to) to our faces.

It "just went away" because governments listened to scientists and took drastic action to fix it.
