Ozone has a measurable influence on the Earth's radiative sprectrum centred at around 9.5 microns but it too is not mentioned as a greenhouse gas in the Kyoto Accord (because it would confuse the ozone depletion issue which the environmentalist lobby also promote).

On this 30th anniversary of the beginning of the ozone depletion debate, it is revealing to review the techniques the skeptics used in the CFC - ozone depletion issue over the past 30 years.

Since 1,700 top scientists issued a dramatic warning 25 years ago about humanity pushing the Earth beyond its capacity to sustain life as we know it, we've managed to stabilize one of the things that was worrying them: the depletion of the ozone layer.

Beyond basic subjects such as climate and weather, this site from the U.K. Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs covers a wide range of pressing atmospheric science issues including acid rain, air quality, climate change, global warming and ozone depletion.

While it is true that changing stratospheric ozone levels do impact the planets radiative balance (and vica versa) it is a 2nd order issue and global warming and ozone depletion should be viewed as two separate issues.

On the issue of why the stratosphere cools here is a nice illustration of the relative roles of ozone depletion and greenhouse gases, plus links to a strange discussion of same.

Even assuming that's the case, who would even be looking at this (or past issues, like ozone depletion, acid rain, mercury toxicity in the food chain, etc)?

Interestingly, the only mention of a scientific consensus with regard to stratospheric ozone depletion by ubiquitous chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs) refrigerants was an article in the October 6, 1982 issue of the industry journal Chemical Week.

That article noted that the National Research Council had just issued a report that had cut estimates of ozone depletion in half from a 1979 NRC report.

... we have political extremists — some of them in our own country — who would have the United States evade and ignore tough issues like global climate change, ozone depletion, or any number of threats to human and environmental health.

The top 10 Environmental Issues are Population, CLimate Change, loss of biodiversity, the phosphorus and nitrogen cycle, water, Ocean Acidification, Pollution, Ozone Depletion Layer, Over fishing and Deforestation.It is very difficult to prioritise the top 10 environmental issues facing our planet Issues are Population, CLimate Change, loss of biodiversity, the phosphorus and nitrogen cycle, water, Ocean Acidification, Pollution, Ozone Depletion Layer, Over fishing and Deforestation.It is very difficult to prioritise the top 10 environmental issues facing our planet issues facing our planet today.

The issue of reducing CO2 emissions goes much deeper in the economy than combating acidification or ozone depletion.

It has been suggested that a top - down allocation approach is more appropriate for boundaries where human activities exert a direct impact on the Earth (that is, climate change, ocean acidification, ozone depletion and chemical pollution), while a multiscale approach is more appropriate for boundaries that are spatially heterogeneous (that is biogeochemical flows, freshwater use, land - system change, biodiversity loss and aerosol loading).8 Even with a top - down approach and a single global boundary, however, allocation is fraught with difficult ethical issues.

Costa Rican coffee plantains have had colder and wetter than normal conditions since the mid 90s and since the 1998 El Nino there has been some interesting issues with convection changes and tropical ozone depletion which may be related to the thermal equator migration.

In 1995, the year Molina and Rowland were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery of the CFC - ozone depletion link, the House Science Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment began a series of hearings to revisit the issue of ozone depletion, where the issue of peer - review was brought up.

We have sometimes commented on the connections between the issue of CFC - driven ozone depletion and anthropogenic global warming.
