I just read an article in L.A. times. That article claims, and I have
seen this claim before, that destroying Earth's Ozone layer leads
to global warming.

Previously I have been under the impression that destroying Earth's
Ozone layer leads into increased UV radiation and problems associated
with that, skin cancer, maybe damage to amphibian populatios etc.
I never realized that the energy amount of the increased UV reaching the 
surface is large enough to be the cause of global warming.

I was under the impression that global warming was mainly due to the
emissions of gases that are transparent to visible light but opaque
to IR (greenhouse gases, CO2, CH4 etc.). But the article clearly
claims that chlorofluorocarbons are the culprit in global warming.

Could somebody kindly set me straight.

Thanx, Wilhelm
