Question

Whats with global warming what is it? whats the ozone whats burning trash have to do with the ozone?

Answer 1

Some gases ("greenhouse gases") let sunlight in, which warms the Earth, and then block that heat from leaving. That's the "greenhouse effect", and it's a natural thing, mostly caused by water vapor.

Man is making excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly by burning fossil fuels. That causes the delicate natural balance to go out of whack and the Earth warms. That's global warming.

It won't be a Hollywood movie style disaster. Gradually coastal areas will flood and agriculture will be damaged. But it will be very bad. Rich countries will cope, but it will take huge amounts of money. In poor countries many people will die of starvation, but not all of them.

Most scientists say, in 20-50 years. But we need to start right now to fix it, fixing it will take even longer than that.

Lots of numerical scientific data proving it real here:

Proof that most scientists think it's real and mostly caused by us here:

The ozone is mostly a separate issue.

Answer 2

Global warming, like global cooling, is a nature phenomenon that has been happening for billions of years.  The earth goes through cycles. We've been in a warming trend since the 80's, but it's now going back to cooling again.

The ozone layer is a gaseous layer surrounding the earth. It is also natural and opens and closes naturally.

Neither of those two things have anything to do with your burning trash or driving a car or breathing out CO2, so just live your life to the best you can and ignore the doomsayers who seem to have unlimited resources to poison people's minds.

Answer 3

global warming was theory popular in 1990's that pollution was causing the earths average temperature to rise.since the earths temperature stopped rising after the 90's it's been largely debunked.

ozone (03) is a form of oxygen created by the combustion process & the effects of sunlight on certain polluntants & natural atmospheric gasses.

it has a strong smell & burns your eyes in higer concentrations.

most large citys have "ozone alerts" in the summer when the ozone concentration gets too high.

during alerts your not supposed to fuel up your car, burn trash or run gas engines such as lawnmowers during the day to reduce ozone production until the weather changes to disperse the ozone.

there is also a natural 03 layer in the upper atmosphere that  stops some of the ultra violet radiation from the sun from reaching the ground.

this layer disapears over the north & south poles during their respective winters when the sun doesnt shine on them to produce more ozone.

Answer 4

Global Warming is a scam and u believed it. The ozone is not down here . it is very high in the upper atmosphere. That is O3 and deadly.

The ozone that the weather man reports on is actually NO2 . It is created in nature by lightning. Our cars make it too, There is no O3 coming out our exhaust.
