Jonathan Shanklin (born 29 September 1953) is a meteorologist who has worked at the British Antarctic Survey since 1977.

[1][2] Shanklin has described his role at the BAS as being that of a "general dogsbody" at the time of the discovery of the "ozone hole".

In an article discussing the discovery, the BBC quotes him as saying Perhaps the most startling lesson from the ozone hole is just how quickly our planet can change.

Given the speed with which humankind can affect it, following the precautionary principle is likely to be the safest road to future prosperity.
