How is Global Warming affecting the Ozone Layer?

Question

Please can you keep it short and relatively simple, many thanks :)

Answer 1

Global warming started when we took steps to protect the ozone.

Before we did this, the excess heat in the Earth was able to escape through the ozone hole. Now the hole is smaller, so less heat can escape.

We need to learn how to balance the amount of pollution we put into the air to keep the hole open just enough to let out all the excess heat.

Answer 2

Global Warming does not really affect the Ozone layer. It is actually the thinning of the Ozone Layer that affects Global Warming. The Ozone hole was caused by CFC's being released into the atmosphere, but these have since been banned. It was recently reported that the Ozone Hole might be shrinking, but at the same time more CO2 is being released-which acts lack a blanket around the earth trapping in heat.
Hope this helps

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Thinking of them being related will cause more confusion than it is worth, CFCs contribute a little to global warming,
as this Wiki link would show.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gasses#Increase_of_greenhouse_gases

They are often confused because they have political similarities; man made change to a global environmental system and international treaty drawn up to solve the problem. In the case of the ozone layer it is largelely effective as the hole is closing.

One other thing is that the CFCs in fridges and aeorosols they banned to solve the ozone problem were replaced with HFCs, which are a strong greenhouse gas.

Use roll on pore blockers, or crytal deoderants (bargain).

Answer 5

The greenhouse effect on earth "traps" the heat in the lower part of the atmosphere which leads to a cooler upper part where the ozone layer is. The cooler this gets, the more ozone depletion. That's why the ozone hole gets bigger in the winter time when it's colder.

However, the closest relationship between global warming and the ozone hole is through CFCs. These gases both works as strong greenhouse gases which cases global warming, and destroys the ozone layer.

This link gives a good description of the relationship between global warming and the ozone layer:

Answer 6

Ozone is O3, three oxygen atoms together. The suns UV rays breaks down O3 all the time leaving O2 and just one oxygen atom. But because single oxygen atoms don't like to be alone they connect with O2 to make once again O3. UV rays also destroy O2 to make single oxygen atoms, but again they reconnect to other oxygen atoms. The sun is a very significant contributor to the breaking down and the creation of O3 or Ozone.

The question is do CFCs, BFCs, etc. make the ozone deplete faster then it can come back, like leaving "holes" in the ozone. The most significant "hole" is over the antarctic which increases and decreases in size over the seasons.

Global warming doesn't seem to contribute to ozone depletion as global warming is said to caused by an increase of green house gases trapping heat. I haven't seen anything that says green house gases destroy ozone.

Answer 7

the ozone layer is acually whats causing global warming. Because of the ozone layer thinning, which is caused by different chemicals in the atmosphere, more UV (ultraviolet) rays are getting through the ozone layer, which is causing the global warming.

Answer 8

Enough of it can burn a freakin' hole right through it!

Meteors!!!!!

Answer 9

yes it puts holes in the surface
