The Ozone Layer

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the ozone layer's function is to shield the earth and its inhabitants from the deadly effects of ultraviolet heat, which causes the earth to be inhabitable in terms of the surface of the earth temperatures, and to hold the good light within the atmosphere. The author points out that, since the Montreal Protocol, which eliminated or restricted substances damaging the ozone layer, the ozone layer hole appears to be shrinking. The paper relates that global warming, which the paper states is entirely independent of the influence of human beings and the careless and irresponsible behavior of mankind in relation to industrial practices of the past, means that the future of the ozone layer is questionable.

From the Paper:

"Not all damages to the Ozone layer are of the manmade type. It is known that volcanoes emit sulfuric acid droplets during the course of an eruption. Although it is expected that the ozone will recover, if all nations abide by the CFC banning agreement and other mandates of the Montreal Protocol of 1988, it is understood among scientists that reality has it that the Ozone will not fully recover for at 50 and up to a possible 100 years."
