There is no Global Warming to which it can contribute. Some of this energy goes into breaking up the ozone, and some goes into creating it, with a net gain in ozone during the day. The rest remains thermal energy. No Global Warming. This activity in the ozone layer prevents energy from reaching the surface of the Earth, effectively cooling it from what it otherwise would've been.

In which way does it contribute to Global Warming? Ozone forms when UV light from the sun strikes the oxygen in the upper atmosphere. The resulting O3 molecule is particularly effective at blocking further UV light from penetrating deeper into the atmosphere. Ozone is an unstable substance and very reactive. To make it, all you really have to do is shove energy into oxygen. It really doesn't matter how. Once the energy source is removed, the ozone naturally decays on it's own over time, returning to oxygen. The reason you get a hole at the poles is due to low energy available there, combined with the natural high pressure prevalent at the poles. As long as you have sunlight and oxygen, you will have ozone. We do not have the power to destroy the ozone layer, even if we wanted to. Edited on 09-11-2015 00:02

Totototo ★☆☆☆☆ (117)	Thank you both for the answers. This activity in the ozone layer prevents energy from reaching the surface of the Earth I know the NASA report says otherwise, but wouldn't the hole over Antartida allow more heat to enter? I mean heat enough to melt? I'm sure there's something wrong with how I worded the question. The reason you get a hole at the poles is due to low energy available there, combined with the natural high pressure prevalent at the poles. As long as you have sunlight and oxygen, you will have ozone. We do not have the power to destroy the ozone layer, even if we wanted to. Interesting. So ozone-depleting substances have no role at all in the depletion of the ozone layer? Please help me understand, because you're basically saying that the protocol banning CFCs and other chemicals (can't remember the name of the protocol) was for nothing. I'm confused.

Please help me understand, because you're basically saying that the protocol banning CFCs and other chemicals (can't remember the name of the protocol) was for nothing. I'm confused. Heat will not enter at the poles for the same reason there is little ozone. There is little energy there due to the bad angle of the sun. The amount of energy will not melt the ice, except in the usual summer pattern. Ozone depleting substances cannot deplete ozone much faster than ozone already depletes, the catalytic nature of the reaction notwithstanding. The same UV sunlight that makes ozone breaks down the depleting substance with all the rest. This is for the amount of substance that actually gets up that high (they are heavier than air, and tend to stay lower in the atmosphere). Ozone layers are destroyed each night by natural decay. Not all layers are completely destroyed. They are recreated each day when the energy becomes available again. The protocol was not for nothing, but what it did do is not about ozone. It's about patents running out on R-12 refrigerant. It's about DuPont manufacturing a scare and forcing everyone to a new refrigerant with a new patent. This stuff is cheap to make and was also used as a propellent for spray cans. The ozone hole is closing slightly because it already was. From the little data we have on it, it seems to follow a sinusoidal period of about 90 years. We do not have a complete record of even a half cycle, but the plot does seem to have the shape of a sine wave. No mechanism has been found for this period as of today, if in fact it is a simple oscillator or something more complex. Edited on 09-11-2015 23:13

Let's see, Into the Night presents a process while you present a name. Do you have any science that refutes the process presented by Into the Night.
