Greenhouse Gas Emissions Are Shrinking The Stratosphere, Study Finds – IFLScience

The thickness of the stratosphere has decreased by around 400 meters (1,312 feet) since 1980, and scientists fear that this contraction could reach 1.3 kilometers (0.8 miles) by 2080. Writing in the journal Environmental Research Letters, the authors of a new study confirm for the first time that the stratosphere has been thinning on a global scale, and that greenhouse gas emissions are primarily responsible for this.
The stratosphere is a vital component of the atmosphere that extends from roughly…
