April 6, 2003 - 03:16 AM

Because of humans, much polution has caused problems with our ozone layer. This is called the green house effect. Do you think that people should be doing something about this?

Greenhouse vs Ozone Hole
April 6, 2003 - 04:27 AM

I think you are referring to the ozone hole that was caused by chlorine-based chemicals. Scientists have been finding the holes are getting smaller since these chemicals were phased out by international treaty.

The greenhouse effect is caused by CO2 and methane trapping the sun's heat. A little of this is needed for the earth to have life, but too much and problems ensue.

Please let me know if I am off-base on this one. Perhaps there is a new environmental issue out there.
