Why is CO2 causing the Ozone to deplete and how?
CO2 has nothing to do with ozone. The common theory by some environmentalist cliques (but definitely not all) is that chlorine in man-made chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) deplete the ozone, but there is no need to worry about it. First I will explain what ozone is then answer that part… Ozone is O2 (an oxygen molecule) that has been highly energized by harmful ultraviolet (UV) bandwidths of radiation from the sun. Ozone forms in the stratosphere by absorbing UV to form what is known as the ozone layer (3O2–>6O+energy–>2O3). After a matter of minutes or hours, the ozone molecules naturally break down into stable O2 molecules (2O3–>3O2). Thus, the term “ozone layer” is a misnomer since it’s not really a layer at all but a scattering of temporary molecules that constantly form and break down. Other factors that can affect ozone formation are lack of sunlight and cold temperatures. They explain why Antarctica has a “hole” where humans lack presence. If you also look at th
