They don’t know why the ozone hole is big this year but they suspect it may be related to a volcanic eruption. Article concludes that scientists expect the ozone layer to be back to normal by 2050.
The suggestion is that this is an unusual year for the ozone layer which sees the hole expand this time every year before retracting again by December. They never suggest human behavior is damaging it again.
I don’t know what provoked the OP’s comment. I just wanted to add context because I personally made a lot of bad assumptions from it before reading the article.
Also I don’t know that your statement is accurate and global warming is never brought up in the article.
as far as I understand, the presence of ozone causes a greenhouse effect. so an ozone hole should lessen the effects of global warming, if anything. Not to say we should be growing ozone holes of course

To be fair, the commenter did not suggest that. But a bigger ozone hole contributes to global warming.
