And while ozone depletion has not been directly observed, the chemistry over the Caribbean appears to be right. There is ClO; there are plenty of dust particles from Pinatubo; there is sunlight. NASA's Kurylo thinks significant ozone loss is in fact happening in the tropics. Says Harvard's Anderson: "This...
