What's wrong with the ozone layer is its depletion, its getting thinner and thinner everyday. This happens beacuse of the release of CFCs or chlorofluorocarbons to our atmosphere. These CFCs are released by refrigerants in sprays and our refrigerators. Because of this destruction of the ozone layer, the UV rays from the sun directly hit our earth. These UV rays cause several amounts of ilnesses, especially to our skin.

The ozone layer becomes thinner everyday because we are burning plastics and releasing freon of airconditioners everyday such a way when the ozone layer becomes very thin a big amount of ultraviolet rays from the sun will reach the earth which will cause skin cancer to humans

CAN YOU HANDLE THE TRUTH?? OK, then. Ozone molecules get heavy from frost at high altitudes over the poles. The extra weight causes them to fall from the sky. When the sun heats them up enough, they are released to rise once again.

The problem was abated by the reduction of CFCs through reformulation of coolants.
But hey, the flat earth people don't believe in that either.

Get with the times. That was the big scare of the 1980's that never happened. We were all supposed to have skin cancer by now. The environmental wackos have moved on to bigger and better things now.
