Just when scientists thought the ozone layer's worst days were behind it, it turns out they may have been missing a big threat to its health.

Earth's ozone layer, 10 kilometres above the surface, is produced when light from the Sun interacts with molecules of oxygen in our atmosphere, and it produces an unmistakable signal that could be detected by JWST.

It's formula is C21H27FO6, making it a hydrofluorocarbon — a category of compounds perhaps best known for replacing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) when their role in the destruction of the ozone layer was discovered.

Name one detrimental effect of UV light when it is not stopped by ozone in upper atmospheric layers.

In a few years from now when it finally dawns on people that we have been taken for the umpteenth scare ride (Club of Rome, Paul Ehrlich, Acid rain, Ozone layer, DDT and many more) the Media will look to themselves and wonder, «how the hell could we be this stupid» Time Magazine and Newsweek know all about that after reporting on the «next Ice Age» scare of the 1970s.

This reminds me of a few years ago, when I was doing some piece about the ozone layer and the history of the science.

So when we do things that emit GHGs, we also likely emit local pollution that kills, & becomes regional acid rain (destroying lakes, crops & forests), & acidifies the ocean, depletes the ozone layer (some pollutants), and maybe a hundre other harms, in addition to contributing to GW, and to runaway GW.

I remembered when I was young, we were taught that glass building panels would «kill the earth», it was then, when there were fewer building of glass window surrounds the building, but now, everywhere — most buildings are geering up for the tallest in the region and of course thinning up the ozone layer.

When concern was raised about the ozone layer and the harm being done by CFC's, the world acted relatively quickly.

However, an explanation for this phenomenon was not found until 1930, when a plausible theory was put forth by Sidney Chapman for the existence of a stratospheric ozone layer.

However, when Americans are asked to rank environmental concerns, global warming is well below other issues, such as water pollution, air pollution, damage to the ozone layer and the loss of tropical rain forests.

Koann Vikoren Skrzyniarz is the Founder and CEO of Sustainable Life Media and Sustainable Brands whose involvement with the intersection of environmental and human issues in business dates back to the mid-1980s when she launched international conferences on improving log utilization, reducing Waste Paper, and eliminating ozone - layer destroying chemicals (CFCs).

To effectively comply with the moral imperative of intergenerational justice, we must think in longer terms as Reagan did when protecting the ozone layer.

The Freon bubble burst when, in 1989, the ozone layer suddenly jumped to the pre-Montreal Protocol level and has since continued to rise.

When life on Earth ends, however, no one will know what caused it — the cause could have been ANY of the MANY environmental threats we were told were going to end life on Earth as we knew it, starting in the 1960s with DDT... then other pesticides, acid rain, hole in the ozone layer, global warming, global cooling, climate change, etc..

When scientists discovered a huge and growing hole in the earth's ozone layer, Canadian researchers and bureaucrats were so central to the response that the ensuing global ban in the manufacture of ozone - depleting chemicals would be named the Montreal Protocol.

Since the 1980s the most severe ozone layer depletion has been regularly observed over Antarctica during spring, when ozone levels drop by over 95 % and UV radiation reaching Earth's surface increases substantially.

As many of you will know, and perhaps recall from living memory, alarm bells started ringing when pioneering research by a group of brilliant chemists (Frank Sherwood Rowland, Mario Molina and Paul Crutzen, who were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1995) showed that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), a family of chemicals used in many everyday applications such as refrigeration, air conditioning and aerosols, were destroying the ozone molecules which make up the protective layer shielding Earth from the sun's harmful rays.

Here is how the more active sun would deplete ozone in the higher layers so as to cool them and thereby accelerate the upward energy flux from the stratosphere below which then cools instead of warming when the sun is more active:

Three British scientists shocked the world when they revealed on May 16th, 1985 — 25 years ago — that aerosol chemicals, among other factors, had torn a hole in the ozone layer over the South Pole.

Anyway, because the models assume the atmosphere is only in local energy equilibrium, they conclude that when the ozone absorbs the ultraviolet light, it heats up the air in the ozone layer.

This is quite an unusual structure to form, and when the ozone layer was discovered, scientists couldn't figure out how and why it formed there.

Major peaks have occurred in 1988 (the ozone - layer protecting Montreal Protocol came to the fore), in 1992 (the year of the Earth Summit in Rio), in 1997 (due to the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas emissions), and in 2000 (when US president George Bush officially rejected the Kyoto Protocol).
