can the ozone layer recover if for example we stop global warming?

Question

i know it is not possible to stop global warming, but if we do stop it, is it possible to recover the ozone

Answer 1

1. The hole in the ozone layer fluctuates with solar activity
2. The impact of so-called "global warming" is theoretical at best
3. The hole in the ozone layer has only been studied for about 50 years, so the long term changes are not even known. In fact, the "normal state" of the ozone layer is not even known -- it is conjectured.
4. The report on "global warming" DOES NOT say that man is the cause, it says that the amount of warming cannot be accounted for by natural activities alone. Man is at most a contributor NOT a cause. However, the politico pseudo-scientists who have not even studied their own data entirely only point to man be a cause.

Answer 2

The ozone layer could recover gradually - ozone is an unstable gas (O3) that is naturally created in the stratosphere, and its amount depends on the difference between its creation rate and its disintegration rate.

However, the hole in the ozone layer and global warming has nothing to do with each other. Global warming is created from greenhouse gasses, as CO2 and methane.

Regarding the other answer, saying that global warming is "just" a theory, that is correct, global warming is a theory, exactly like the big bang, relativity, quantuum physics, or anyone who says the sun will shine tomorrow morning. All of those are theories with varrying level of proofs.

Answer 3

Ozone layer depletion and global warming are separate issues, although (distantly) related. The ozone layer is already starting to recover naturally as we cut down on activities that deplete it. But global warming is likely to continue, since ozone layer depletion activities are usually separate from greenhouse gas activities.

I don't think anyone is seriously debating whether global warming is occurring or not (it is observable fact); the question that is under (some) debate is whether human activity is causing it (that is conjecture, and difficult to "prove"). The UN-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is getting ready to release a report that says it is "very likely" that human behavior is causing the observed global temperature rises.

Answer 4

It all has to do with the process of ozone depletion, where CFCs are broken down to Fluoride and chlorine by the UV rays. Then Chlorine would attack and decompose the ozone.
This process is enhanced by something called: Polar stratospheric clouds, which occur at very low temperatures in the lower stratosphere.
It is speculated that global warming would actually decrease the temperatures high up in the stratosphere, by trapping heat inside the earth's atmosphere. If the conditions became more severe (cooler stratospheric temperatures, more stratospheric clouds, more active chlorine), then ozone may deplete at a much greater pace.

BTW, Standard global warming theory predicts that the stratosphere will cool.

Answer 5

The hole in the ozone is not caused by global warming. The Earth's atmosphere can be affected by living beings. When only life existed in water the air was full of CO2 and would have been inhospitable for humans. After 2 billion years of decomposing animals in the water and the growth of a mulititude of plant life the atmosphere's oxygen level was high enough to sustain life outside of the water.

"Humankind" has done some damage to the Earth in a relatively short period of time and it will take many hundreds of years to fix what has been done. The Earth does has a way of healing itself as a living body would do.

Answer 6

You can't stop global warming, it's a process of symbiotic relationships. The ozone layer doesn't have to recover, it will always be there. We need the hole because if they're wasn't a hole it would be a closed sytem.

Answer 7

From what I have read holes in the ozone layer is what is theoretically causing global warming. But again in reality global warming is just a theory and has not been proved with scientific hard proof.

If we look at the climactic changes over the past millions of years, changes in geology and where there was water and was in the past. We can see the world's climate is dynamic and ever changing. We probably are contributing to some of the change. I believe not nearly as much as the politicians looking to recently be re-elected had told us. But of course many of them had gotten their jobs spreading that BS.

Answer 8

No. The ozone is self recovering. Ozone molecules get cold, moisture condenses on them, they get heavier than air and fall. When the poles have their summertime, the molecules 'thaw' are rise back up.
Global warming is bunk justified with junk 'science' and fretted over by paranoid chicken little liberals. We must now be in the new ice age the same people panicked about back in the 1970s.

Answer 9

The hole in the ozone layer is getting smaller so find something else to worry about.

Answer 10

1st of all there is no proof of global warming just the theory because we've had ice ages before and the climate had to change for it to be like it is now, so human cfcs couldn't a been cause to the heating then.
2nd yes it will eventually slowly but surely it will however if you where to long o3 into the atmosphere it will rejuvenate faster
