Although
no stratospheric ozone loss had been observed yet, CFCs should be banned, they said.

Increased polar
stratospheric ozone losses and delayed eventual recovery owing to increasing greenhouse - gas concentration.
Increased polar
stratospheric ozone losses and delayed eventual recovery due to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.
«Although
stratospheric ozone losses are expected to stabilize and eventually recover to preindustrial levels over the course of the twenty - first century, these results show that increasing greenhouse gases will continue to intensify the polar vortex throughout the twenty - first century, but that radiative forcing will cause widespread temperature increases over the entire Southern Hemisphere.»

Through extensive modeling of
stratospheric chemistry, the team found that calcite, a constituent of limestone, could counter
ozone loss by neutralizing emissions - borne acids in the atmosphere, while also reflecting light and cooling the planet.
This
ozone will help to compensate for any
losses in
stratospheric ozone, but at the cost of causing global warming.
In addition, the larger than expected
loss of UV light meant less
stratospheric ozone up to 45 kilometers above the surface, but more above that line.
How does this relate generally to
stratospheric cooling over recent decades and the apparent positive feedback whereby
ozone loss causes further cooling which leads to further ozone loss... Here's a good overview news feature Ozone And Climate Change from the Earth Observatory at

The study about the research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences under the title «
Stratospheric solar geoengineering without
ozone loss.»

There is a progression of global impacts from the
loss of
stratospheric ozone, to decling global fish stocks, to
loss of topsoil and now global climate change.
An excellent example is the determination by Molina and Rowland (1974) that CFC's will lead to
losses in
stratospheric ozone.
Since its emergence in the 1980s, the Antarctic
ozone hole, the near - complete
loss of lower -
stratospheric ozone, has occurred every year.
In the Antarctic, essentially complete removal of lower -
stratospheric ozone currently results in an
ozone hole every year, whereas in the Arctic,
ozone loss is highly variable and has until now been much more limited.
In the year with strong wave energy, by contrast, the lower
stratospheric warming in July and August leads to reduced
ozone losses throughout the Southern Hemisphere spring, when the sunlight that powers
ozone depletion chemistry returns to the polar regions.
States that several interlinked processes have been suggested as contributing to the warming, including
stratospheric ozone depletion, local sea - ice
loss, an increase in westerly winds, and changes in the strength and location of low — high - latitude atmospheric teleconnections
If this happens during northern winter, surface pressure falls in the Arctic (rising AO) the night jet stalls, NOx injection falls away,
stratospheric ozone levels increase, the coupled circulation is invigorated and pressure falls at 50 - 60 ° north and this is associated with cloud
loss (when global cloud cover is at its maximum value) and a strong rise in global sea surface temperature.
He says that rather than global warming we should be worrying about
stratospheric cooling and the resultant
loss of
ozone which he categorises as disastrous.
Several interlinked processes have been suggested as contributing to the warming, including
stratospheric ozone depletion, local sea - ice
loss, an increase in westerly winds, and changes in the strength and location of low — high - latitude atmospheric teleconnections.
But not only must models of
ozone loss and recovery factor in global warming — abnormally low
stratospheric ozone has also a marked effect on climate change here and now.
The evolution of the forcing due to
stratospheric O3
loss hinges on the rate of recovery of the
ozone layer, with special regards to the spatial structure of such a recovery in the mid - to high latitudes.
The
loss of
stratospheric ozone could also significantly cool the stratosphere, potentially causing destructive climate change.
The
ozone losses predicted in the study are much larger than
losses estimated in previous «nuclear winter» and «ultraviolet spring» scenario calculations following nuclear conflicts -LSB-...] A 1985 National Research Council Report predicted a global nuclear exchange involving thousands of megatons of explosions, rather than the 1.5 megatons assumed in the PNAS study, would deplete only 17 percent of the Northern Hemisphere's
stratospheric ozone, which would recover by half in three years.
