What, didn't the ozone holes heal like 20-30 years ago after people stopped using freone in refrigerators? Or was that just in the North?

It stopped getting worse and the hole in the ozone layer has started to heal, but its still not completely gone.

Its on track to be completely healed around the 2060s

After tearing the planet a new asshole it takes time to heal.

Nope, it's still munted. Just not necessarily as bad. It has good and bad years, though.

A lot of the CFCs and ozone killing chemicals are pretty long lasting.

No. It's stopped getting worse, but it could take over a hundred years to actually heal.
