Ozone Layer

From the Paper:

"In 1985, British scientists discovered a hole, the size of the United States, in the ozone layer; the hole had been occurring over Antarctica each spring since 1979 (World watch Paper 87). Although the theory said that a group of widely used chemicals called chloroflourocarbons (CFC's) would someday evade the upper atmosphere ozone, none of the models predicted it would be over the South Pole or that it would be so severe. Also during this period, the expected rate of the greenhouse warming accelerated because its relationship to CFC's became clearer to scientists (Miller and Mintzer). In the fall of 1986, the U.S. and European users and producers of CFC's and DuPont Chemicals, the largest single CFC manufacturer, endorsed limits on CFC production (Miller and Mintzer). Government decisions concerning Ozone depletion will influence the greenhouse problem, the (...)"
