The same carbon dioxide radiative forcing that produces near-surface global warming is expected (perhaps somewhat surprisingly) to cool the stratosphere. This, in turn, would lead to a relative increase in ozone depletion and the frequency of ozone holes.
Conversely, ozone depletion represents a radiative forcing of the climate system. There are two opposed effects: 1) reduced ozone allows more solar radiation to penetrate, thus warming the troposphere instead of the stratosphere. 2) The resulting colder stratosphere emits less long-wave radiation down to the troposphere, thus having a cooling effect. Overall, the cooling dominates: the IPCC concludes that observed stratospheric O3 losses over the past two decades have caused a negative forcing of the surface-troposphere system [22] of about −0.15 ± 0.10 W/m² [23].
One of the strongest predictions of the greenhouse effect theory is that the stratosphere will cool. Although this cooling has been observed, it is not trivial to separate the effects of changes in the concentration of greenhouse gases and ozone depletion since both will lead to cooling. However, this can be done by numerical stratospheric modeling. Results from the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory show that above 20 km, the greenhouse gases dominate the cooling. [24]
Ozone depleting chemicals are also greenhouse gases, representing 0.34 ±0.03 W/m², or about 14% of the total radiative forcing from well-mixed greenhouse gases [25].
Decreased ozone leads to an increase in ultraviolet levels. Ultraviolet radiation may be responsible for the death of ocean algae, which operate as a carbon dioxide sink in the ocean. Increased UV, therefore, may lead to a decrease in carbon dioxide uptake, thereby raising global carbon dioxide levels. [26]

Climate and global warming is inter-related to each other. As when the global warming increases it also affects the climate. Change in the climate is only due to the global warming. global warming is actually caused by the chlorofluorocarbon coming from our household works and specially from the the refrigerators. Due to the global warming the black hole increases and the ozone layer decreases. If the ozone layer decreases rapidly then it can cause various inflammation in our health and the surrounding. Then the harmful radiations of the sun reaches to the earth and cause many pollutions and give rise to many new diseases and skin cancer. The producing of the co2 gases is very harmful. it also leads to the depletion of the ozone layer as it is one of the greenhouse gases. Hope this answer will help u to write ur essay. U can also elaborate these points.

Ozone layer may cause foot fungi's ,u believe that. NO the ozone layer is very high and works like God designed it . The ozone layer is made when the solar winds collide with the earth's magnetic field. The holes only happen at the poles and does not threaten people.

Most of the carbon form of gas damage the ozone layer. This global warming takes place only due to the increase of carbon-di-oxide in air. THis carbon-di-oxide damages the ozone layer at the same time also heatens the earth!

It doesn't
global warming is being caused by C02 emmissions, that are getting trapped in the atmosphere and turning trapping the heat from the sun in our atmosphere heating the earth, thus why it is called the green house effect
