GREENLAND ICE SHEET
In 1987, the world swapped ozone-destroying CFCs for safer refrigerants; nearly 40 years later, scientists found the switch had been quietly raining a forever chemical across the planetChemicals meant to protect the planet are now causing a new issue. Replacements for ozone-damaging CFCs are forming a stubborn chemical, TF...- The Moon is making your days longer, and most people have no ideaOur planet's days are getting longer.
