It's worse if you want to make it appear worse. You just need to use the right metrics and ignore those that are unconvenient.
It's again all part of the same ideology considering that we humans can do better in a few decades than billions of years of evolution with extremely complex and diverse interactions.

Planes often do a couple of turns on the way in to land. Also, planes are sometimes "parked" in holding patterns. If you live within somewhat reasonable distance of an airport, this may be what is going on.

The ozone layer has almost completely "healed" and continues to improve despite what any study decides to say.
It isn't even entirely clear whether or not CFCs were the culprit. Year-to-year fluctuations in area and depth are caused by variations in stratospheric temperature and circulation.
NASA -> " the word hole isn’t literal; no place is empty of ozone. Scientists use the word hole as a metaphor for the area in which ozone concentrations drop below the historical threshold of 220 Dobson Units."
So basically A topic about dodgy technology is full of dodgy people and dodgy science.

Maybe this is a success story, that despite people like you, all the banning of Freon and other accelerants were successful of preventing a an event that would cause mass extinction. Despite.

I humbly admit that I don't know much about the ozone layer and whatever happened *exactly* with this hole.
But for anyone who does, is there anything that AnalogueLove1867 said above that is provably false?
And, does someone questioning one particular point make them a science denial fundamentalist?
Another question is, does using hyperbolic discourse ("mass extinction") help science?
Just wondering.

Rails don’t move like that. That’s an optical illusion brought about by using a telephoto lens
A zoom lens warped the middle of the screen not the edges? Oh yes they can move, badly, they are called "sun kinks". They expand 1ft for every 1800ft when hot. They can get shoved by several feet in turns if there is any ballast issue. In either of these cases, normal rail ties usually survive. No way in hell would solar panels take even the relatively small strain each tie takes, unless you added flex points at the connections to tne rails, which means more $, and causing more vibration issues, meaning you'd have to dampen it, meaning even more $ for a tiny panel.
My opinion on why there is this apparent obsession with solar roadways and solar panels between rails, and similar ideas, while there are obviously tons of places to put solar panels that are a lot more practical with a lot less potential damage and maintenance, is mainly political: it's not to come up with practical, useful solutions to generate electricity. It's to make things that currently look terribly bad from an environmental POV, such as roadways and even railways (because they host "transportation" in general, and transportation is currently "terribly" polluting), look clean and aligned with "progress", while still keeping the exact same infrastructures as before.
It's like, you know, giving all prison inmates a "I'm an honest person" t-shirt and giving them their freedom back. Then we could close up all prisons and claim that we have finally ended crime.
Just a thought.
You must have missed the part that I need to throw out the garbage every day since I can't leave that out door. I wrap waste nicely in knotted plastic bagkeptto keep it from smelling too bad between weekly pickups. So one way or another, I am throwing out a bag a day anyway. It is either a "free" grocery bag from the store when it was legal, or now a purchased garbage bag first used for grocery. Why waste water and electricity both of which has their environmental and financial cost.
They should just install Solar Cell with poles on the side of the rails instead. Or at least, installed it on the existing overhead line poles or railway station rooftops.
As those railway sections mostly has blank area to do it anyway. That is much cheaper to install and no damage risk from trains and rails expanded from heat for long term use.
And easier to repair without disrupt the train schedules as a whole.
Another money wasted on stupid ideas.
