How can the ozone hole in Antarctica effect us?

Answer 1

It cannot effect us... unless mankind starts living there... btw, the global warming if around antarctica, can definitely effect us since it would melt ice and hence water level would increase in each ocean and drown quite a few of the islands which are not much above sea level

Answer 2

Imagine driving down the highway at about 70mph.
Don't you feel the wind when the window is cracked?
Or, don't you think you'd feel wind just as much with a 3 inch hole in the floor board?
Solar wind is very high-speed radiation and ions. The Earth's geo-magnetic field is already weak at the poles, which is why some solar radiation is seen as northern/southern lights.
Lately people there have seen spectacular displays.

Please... fix it.
Grow your lawns longer, don't use freon, plant some more trees, and use cleaner fuel while driving less.
Or... we can take an expensive route and pipeline the ozone from polluted cities back up into the atmosphere. Ha. Won't work because chem. pollution keeps destroying ozone up there!

I think I'll just build a 'Noah's Arc' spaceship & more to an untouched world.
Dreams are innovation!

Answer 3

The polar ozone holes are not a direct threat in themselves to humans. The import of the holes is that the ozone layer is being depleted, and that if that depletion continues, the holes will expand to areas where they DO have direct human impact. A loss of a significant part of our solar radiation shield would have some pretty nasty effects in the long-term for those affected, and may very well render those areas uninhabitable.

Answer 4

Easy. The ozone keeps us from frying, being blunt. The large 2 mile ozone tear in Antarctica is letting in additional heat, which is melting the polar ice caps. The ocean level will then rise (its already in the process) And ...my theory, is that the world will destabilized itself from its natural rotation and actually flip. North will be south, south north. It is quite possible, in fact, I did some further research to find that the world is starting to turn...but it is a slow rate..for now at least.

Answer 5

Ozone gas protects us from the UV rays of d sun which's harmful 4 our skin n may cause skin cancer etc.. a hole in d ozone layer in Antartica is an indicator of further ozone depletion in near future.. which might b deadly 4 all of us...
so u got d point..??? :-)
but just bout a week ago, the papers said dat d ozone layer is healing.. though slowly.. now u need not worry about it anymore.. ;-)

Answer 6

For one thing, the ozone hole allows the sun's ultraviolet rays to strike the Earth in an uninhibited fashion. Have you noticed that weather prediction includes the UV index for your town and/or state (such as low, medium, or high)? That's what they're talking about. It's also why sunscreen is so highly recommended. We shouldn't go out without hats and sunglasses, because the UV rays are so harmful to us.

Answer 7

there is a hole in antarctica? wow. that the first time i heard that. maybe the sea levels will rise but i think no one would notice. whatever. earth will die in 5 billion years or so.

Answer 8

How can a broken foot effect your posture?

Just because it's far away doesn't mean it won't impact the entire planet.
