We already closed that goddamned hole once. How the hell did you guys fuck it up again so fast ? - signed all the gen x’ers who gave up their hairspray for the environment in the 80s

The ozone "hole" was never closed. It took decades just for the regulatory changes in the 80s and 90s to finally stop the depletion. You are probably thinking of that news that it was now on the mend as meaning it was closed. As far as I know, it's been consistently reported that it would take to the mid century point to close the hole.
