If global warming is occuring because the ozone layer is being destroyed by chemicals. Then is it possible to?

Question

rebuild the ozone layer by creating and releasing ozone gas into the atmosphere?

Answer 1

As posters before have already noted, Ozone depletion and global warming are two separate issues.

As far as rebuilding the Ozone Layer is concerned, that is already occurring. Since CFCs production has been banned the Ozone has actually been repairing itself since 1997.

Also, to your question about releasing Ozone into the atmosphere to correct the problem. The Hole actually exists over Antarctica, so for the best effect you'd have to transport the Ozone gas to Antartica to release it. Then, you would have to release it up into the Stratosphere for it to do good.

Ground level or atmospheric level ozone is actually harmful and a compontent of smog.

Answer 2

The destruction of the ozone layer is not a major cause of global warming. Ozone exists in two forms, O3 or O2. Pumping ozone will only increase the ozone concentration at ground level. Ozone at ground level is found in smoggy cities.


The ozone layer is being destroyed by CFCs.

Answer 3

The hole in the ozone layer and global warming are two seperate phenomena. Releasing ozone into the atmosphere won't rebuild the ozone layer either.

Answer 4

The ozone layer is fine. If u release O3 into the atmosphere it will kill,is that what u want. The ozone layer is so high that almost nothing gets that high. The ozone the weather man talks about is NO2 not O3. NO2 is hard on u but it doesn't kill. Even CFC is too heavy to get that high.

Answer 5

No, but a nuclear winter just may solve all of our

...Global Thermal Redistribution problems.

Answer 6

no,it isn't possible.ozone can only b destroyed but not made
