i think global warming is crap its proaganda that they use to justify a carbon tax or to charge us more money in some name of saving the enviorment whats happening is natural and has happened before the sun is why we warm not us how arrogant are people to belive we are the center of everything that happens on this planet is she wanted to mother nature could shrug us off like a cold its all cycles thats all
@barbara: Yes, global warming is the driver here, though a better term is climate change, because the average temperatures over the whole globe don't tell you specifically regional effects. However the depletion of ozone, also known as the "ozone hole" is not really related effect. Ozone in the upper atmosphere absorbs much of the ultraviolet light coming from the sun, which is good for us because ultraviolet light is damaging to skin and leads to higher cancer rates. The ozone layer does not "spread melting arctic ice".
i beleave this is caused by global warming the ozone layer continues to spread melting artic ice causeing the water level to rise only god knows where this could lead what the outcome will be
