Turns out, that the hole in the ozone layer didn't get repaired. In fact, it's larger than it's ever been and above the Antarctic. Antarctica is currently experiencing a mass die-off of animals. We didn't do shit. This is pure climate change copium.
Is this true? An article from 2022 indicates things are getting better, just slowly

It's not. I'm guessing they did a Google search, looked at a few misleading article titles, and then decided they were a scientist.
On average, the hole has been shrinking, but 2023's hole was the 12th biggest on record. The eruption of Hunga-Tonga was thought to be the main factor.
The mass die-off reference likely refers to penguin chicks dying because climate change is causing sea ice to melt earlier than before. The poor little guys are falling into the ocean and drowning. It's not ozone layer related, though

So your source is a government website that doesn't support anything you asserted? You're just proving my point for me.
If you look at charts of the size up until 2019, you’ll see it noticeably shrinking year or er year. 2019 looked fantastic but was due to weather conditions. Similar to global warming, the ozone hole is caused by manmade chemicals that last in the atmosphere for decades to even a century or more. It was expected to heal around 2040.
In those same charts, you’ll see that we seem to have lost a lot of ground after 2019. I’ve read blame placed at the hands odf a side effect of global warming, a volcano, or Chinese manufacturers cheating the ban on HCFCs
