In "Mario and the Hole in the Sky," author Elizabeth Rusch tells the inspiring story of chemist Mario Molina, who played a crucial role in discovering the damaging effects of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) on the ozone layer. The narrative highlights Molina's journey from his childhood in Mexico to his groundbreaking scientific achievements. Faced with skepticism and challenges, he persevered, ultimately influencing global policy changes to protect the environment. This engaging account not only showcases Molina's scientific brilliance but also emphasizes the importance of environmental stewardship and the impact one person can have in addressing global climate issues.
