I thought a large part of the reason that the sun seems to burn you so much in Tasmania is because the air there is so clean. Doesn't the low humidity and the absence of other particles in the air allow more radiation to reach the ground?

For a similar reason, it is often easier to get sunburned in Canberra than in Darwin.

Tasmania doesn't have the protective layer of pollution that parts of the north island have.

That has nothing to do with the scientists' concerns, but explains the burning sensation in Hobart.

This increase in ozone eating gasses would have nothing at all to do with the selling of carbon credits to the E.U by China, a process that made it more profitable to produce good in an environmentally damaging way and capture the emissions to treat them so they get to sell carbon credits, rather than use a more modern method that produced /used none of those gases. Now if that treatment equipment is not 100% , not an issue as we still get paid as if we're treating all the emissions.

There is a good article from TasmaniaHERE
