It's like the hole is targeting the coldest parts of the arctic... I saw the hole linger on the precious greenland ice sheet and scandinavia... I'm scared.

@calicore : this specific event is not scary in itself. Ozone depletion does not *directly* influence global warming. The concern is the amount of UV reaching the ground. There could be consequences on vegetation if this becomes frequent and grows in future years. But even in this case I am not much worried for people: the amount of UV should not get worse than what we encounter during summer (when sunlight is more intense).
