I dont think certain chemicals distroing oxygen atoms of ozone layer,damaging the protective zone. It is not a satisfactory
answer. may be some other chemical reaction happeing which
reducing the oxygen atoms from ozone layer.

The holes are letting too much heat in, smog and pollution are trapping the heat in.

The ozone damage is not the sole contributor to the global climate shift we're seeing as of recently. The main contributor is really the carbon emissions from vehicles and power generation facilities. The holes in the ozone layer merely let more infrared radiation from the sun into the earth where the the CO2 and CO that we've released into the atmosphere trap this heat from being released out of the earth. To answer your second point, Studies have shown that although Earth has had some climate shifts, the recent acceleration of this climatic shift is unlike anything we've seen before and so clearly the more rapid pace is the result of human actions.

Aside from the problem with English, you are trying to apply a one value solution to a multivalued problem. First, global warming is not new. It has happened several times in recorded history and has caused mass extinctions is prehistory. One example is the period between the Paleozoic and the Mesozoic called the Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction when the majority of the worlds life forms; over 90% is one estimate, and shifted the primacy from the amphibians to the reptiles. This lead to the rise of the dinosaurs in the mesozoic. It's not the only one documented although it is one of the best examples. Try using the Wikipedia (Paleozoic Extinction) for a more details of what and how it happened although you will find that reactions between ozone and naturally occurring gasses are considered to be the primary cause. Man might be helping it but with the size of the beast it's far from certain that he caused it.

Think of the ozone layer as a huge invisible soccer ball shaping of molecules around the earths atmosphere. Oxygen in its normal shape is O2(eg. O=O) with a double bond. Ozone is (O3 O-O-O) where it forms a triangle with slight pressure on the bonds making it less stable and easier to break still each O atom has a double bond. Chlorofluorocarbons break this easily making CO2 and FlO2 which makes holes in the soccer ball shape around the earth causing the Ozone layer to keep getting smaller and smaller entrapping more heat like a balloon closing in on itself warming the earth. Fluorine bonds are extremely more powerful on O therefore breaking Ozone bonds very easily making it viable to form holes in the Ozone layer which close up with other Ozone bonds.

A report issued in 2001 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that it is "virtually certain" that emissions of carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel burning are the main cause of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide during the 21st century. Global Warming Prevention Measures Strategic Committee was established to reinforce global warming measures in every sphere of business. Reduction targets have been set for fiscal 2010 for direct emissions of greenhouse gases from plants, sites and offices. Also strive to improve environmental efficiency throughout the life cycle by grasping and evaluating CO2 emissions as part of efforts to reduce indirect emissions through environmental burden reduction activities, and to contribute to reduction by customers through provision of ecofriendly products and solutions. Efforts are still made only to prevent Global Warming. We assume Global Warming also, to be a natural phenomenon and we have already crossed our limits in preventing it.

Ex: The nature and rapidity of the change in temperature over the 20th Century is very different from that over the previous 1000 years. In particular the recent years have been the warmest over that entire period. 1998 was the warmest year in the global instrumental record, and a more striking statistic is that each of the first eight months of 1998 was the warmest of those months in the instrumental record - suggesting that the earth really is warming up and one day the entire land will be covered with water.

not really,i think that the one that's really responsible is actually the excessive greenhouse gases (methane,carbon dioxide) emission caused by human activities which leads to increase in trapping of heat and therefore increasing the global temperature.. However i believe that global warming is a natural process, it's just part of earth's mechanism.

nope - missing ozone lets more UV down to surface. CO2 and methane concentration increased blamed for global warming

First, before trying to understand this question, I would make sure that syntax of my question was proper. Second, I would check my question for gross misspellings. Otherwise people may not want to take a scientific question seriously from someone who can't even piece together a coherent thought.

The atoms aren't gone. They're broken up.

If you don't think, then we are safe. There is no earth warming.

Youpi we can go skiing next winter
