Consequently, the ozone layer only allows through those wavelengths that are least harmful to organisms, However, there has been an increasing trend of depeletion of the ozone layer. Many people refer to this as a "hole" in the ozone layer. Due to CFC's being released decades ago, the buring of fossil fuels (which releases carbon dioxide), and the deforestation of many tropical forests, the ozone layer has been getting thinner and thinner, and more and more harmful rays are being let through to the Earth's surface. etc
