Ozone layer?

Question

if we let the ozone layer deteriate for another 10 years it will be much warmer here in the uk and ireland and we wont have to pay and burn home heating oil which is ruinning the ozone layer in the first place.so no recycling for another 10 yrs please

Answer 1

I do not think you understand the ozone layer thing.  The deterioration of the ozone layer does not make the earth warmer, it just increases the number of cases of skin cancer.

Answer 2

Depletion of ozone layer will cause more negative side effects than warming your home.

Besides the harmful UV rays that comes into the Earth, there is also the high summer temperature to be worried of. Warmer temperature also increases the summer temperature, remember the summer temperature could go to a very torturing level of 40+ degrees centigrade.

Please, give a thought to the people living around the equator. Those people living in the tropics already experiencing high temperature. They dint want higher temperature or else they will have use more energy for air cooling system.

Answer 3

Ozone depletion describes two distinct, but related observations: a slow, steady decline of about 4 percent per decade in the total amount of ozone in Earth's stratosphere since around 1980; and a much larger, but seasonal, decrease in stratospheric ozone over Earth's polar regions during the same period. The latter phenomenon is commonly referred to as the ozone hole.

The detailed mechanism by which the polar ozone holes form is different from that for the mid-latitude thinning, but the most important process in both trends is catalytic destruction of ozone by atomic chlorine and bromine.[1] The main source of these halogen atoms in the stratosphere is photodissociation of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) compounds, commonly called freons, and of bromofluorocarbon compounds known as halons. These compounds are transported into the stratosphere after being emitted at the surface. Both ozone depletion mechanisms strengthened as emissions of CFCs and halons increased.

CFCs, halons and other contributory substances are commonly referred to as ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Since the ozone layer prevents most harmful UVB wavelengths (270–315 nm) of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere, observed and projected decreases in ozone have generated worldwide concern leading to adoption of the Montreal Protocol banning the production of CFCs and halons as well as related ozone depleting chemicals such as carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethane (also known as methyl chloroform). It is suspected that a variety of biological consequences such as increases in skin cancer, damage to plants, and reduction of plankton populations in the ocean's photic zone may result from the increased UV exposure due to ozone depletion.
