Expert debunks dangerous myth about global crisis: 'More people need to hear this'
A meteorologist is clearing the air about one of the biggest environmental victories in human history. In a TikTok by ABC News Live (@abcnewslive), ABC News chief climate correspondent Ginger Zee breaks down the story of the ozone layer crisis and how international cooperation helped turn the tide. The main topic of the video is how the 1980s ozone layer crisis was solved. She explains that the ozone layer, a thin band of gas high in the atmosphere, protects life on Earth by acting like a sunscreen. "Without it, you burn," she says. "And I don't mean spring break Mexico burn; I mean burn to death." After scientists discovered in 1985 that the ozone layer was thinning because of man-made chemicals, specifically chlorofluorocarbons found in refrigerants, aerosols, and air conditioners, nearly 200 countries came together to pass the Montreal Protocol. The protocol phased out ozone-depleting substances that helped the ozone layer heal, and according to scientists, it could fully recover within the next 40 years. This could mean 443 million fewer cases of skin cancer and 63 million cases of cataracts prevented by the end of the century. The story of the ozone layer serves as a powerful case study for how people can unite to solve environmental challenges. "Can you imagine if we all came together and did that for greenhouse gas emissions?" asked Zee at the end of the video. Reducing harmful carbon pollution today could help prevent extreme weather events, sea level rise, and habitat loss in the future. While Zee's video is a celebration of a past win, it also serves to clarify ongoing misconceptions. She responds to a social media comment that falsely claims environmental scientists have been moving the goalposts from the ozone crisis to global warming to climate change. Do you think America has a plastic waste problem? Definitely Only in some areas Not really I'm not sure Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. It is important to understand the distinction between these two crises. The ozone crisis was caused by specific chemical compounds that damaged the protective atmospheric layer. On the other hand, global warming refers to the rise in Earth's average surface temperature because of harmful greenhouse gases. Climate change is the broader term that includes warming along with shifts in weather patterns, precipitation, and sea levels. "Can this be a main segment on the main news. More people need to hear this," one user wrote. "Same with bird eggshells cfcs and ddts! We helped that! We can band together for change," another commenter pointed out.

Ginger Zee slams 'fake' social media rumors that she's leaving 'GMA' and is pregnant
Ginger Zee slams 'fake' social media rumors that she's leaving 'GMA' and is pregnant Show Caption Hide Caption Ginger Zee reveals her daily essentials, from yoga to an ideal morning Ginger Zee on her daily essentials and how she spends her mornings. Ginger Zee doesn't see leaving "Good Morning America" or a third pregnancy in her forecast. The ABC News chief meteorologist took to social media Tuesday, June 3, to slam social media rumors, including one alleged report that the "GMA" fan favorite is exiting the network's morning show. "Fake profiles, false stories about me leaving my job, being pregnant and even going into war zones… this platform seems to be rapidly spiraling down… Is there a way we can make this better and get real info shared as much as the fake stuff?" the "Dancing with the Stars" alum wrote on Facebook. ABC's Ginger Zee says this part of her morning routine is 'simplistic' but so essential Zee, 44, isn't working from war zones on "GMA" and hasn't announced a third child with husband Ben Aaron with whom she shares two sons, Adrian and Miles. The "Natural Disaster" and "A Little Closer to Home" author appeared in a "GMA" promo titled "Coming Home," released June 3, as the show reaches the 50-year mark this November, signaling her staying power. The early riser recently opened up about working the wee hours in an interview for USA TODAY's The Essentials: "I can't imagine having a leisurely morning. But I take it, and I make 3:45 a.m. feel as leisurely as possible," Zee said. Zee also opened up about negative comments from online critics, saying that it "usually says a lot about who they are and what's wrong with them," adding she has "empathy for these people who are so sad, or they need to get that out. And I take it that way, and it's much easier to take when you start seeing that." In March, someone left a critical comment on an Instagram video. "You're not aging well," they wrote. "My first reaction (to the comment) was, 'Thank God, I get to get older,'" she added. "There (were) a lot of years in my 20s and teens where I was like − like a lot of other people – 'I don't even know if I'm worth it.' I'm so lucky to be alive, let alone aging. Good! Your opinion is that I'm not aging well, but the point is, I'm aging. And I really meant that. I meant that it is a privilege to be able to be aging." Contributing: Erin Jensen
