From the Paper:

"The depletion of the protective ozone layer above the earth in recent years is of serious concern to environmentalists and economists, for the ozone layer absorbs excessive levels of UV-B radiation from the sun, which is harmful to both human and animal life. Ozone layer depletion seems to be leading to serious climate change and global warming that could melt the polar ice caps. If this happens, the level of the world's oceans could eventually rise as much as several meters, which would flood heavily populated coastlines around the world, cause an ecological disaster, and inflict devastating economic damage."
