There is speculation that yes, global warming has something to do with the size of the ozone layer. However, the problem is most of the evidence is indirect. Since the banning of CFC, chlorine in the atmosphere has peaked and leveled off. In 2002, the ozone layer briefly got smaller, but now it's bigger than it ever has been and the speculation is that the warming of earth has changed atmospheric conditions at the south pole, exacerbating the size of the hole or changing the conditions to prevent the hole from shrinking.

No. The ozone layer is a natural layer in the upper atmosphere that prevents incoming ultraviolet light from the Sun from reaching the ground. The problem is that CFC pollution has reduced this layer.
Global warming is due to carbon dioxide in all levels of the atmosphere preventing infrared light emitted by the warm ground from escaping to space. The problem is that burning oil and especially coal releases a lot of carbon dioxide.

Nope. Neither does anything else man does. Global warming is natural and can't be changed, 'fixed', stopped, reversed, or altered.
