The ozone hole was once thought to only affect skin cancer rates in Australia, by letting in more ultraviolet light. But now it’s been discovered that ozone acts with changing winds to blow the rain clouds away.

A newly discovered ancient city in the Amazon is awesome, but it’s also giving officials an excuse not to try to save the rainforests, by saying they haven’t been pristine for a long time.
