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
