Tip of the Week

Misconception: Climate change and the loss of the ozone layer are pretty much the same thing.

Fact: Climate change and the loss of the ozone layer are two different problems that are not very closely connected.

The largest contributor to global warming is carbon dioxide gas released when coal, oil, and natural gas are burned. CFCs, gases which cause stratospheric ozone depletion, play only a minor role in climate change. The depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, including the ozone hole, is a serious environmental problem because it causes an increase in ultraviolet radiation which can harm people, animals, and plants. This is a different problem from the problem of climate change.
