Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) cause significantly stratospheric ozone depletion and global warming relating to the greenhouse effect.
Detailed explanation-2: -CFCs have created both unnatural atmospheric cooling and warming based on these facts: CFCs have destroyed ozone in the lower stratosphere/ upper troposphere causing these zones in the atmosphere to cool 1.37°C from 1966 to 1998.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main cause of global warming is the excess of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas.
Detailed explanation-4: -These gases, such as the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), are greenhouse gases, absorbing some of the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface, thereby effectively heating the Earth’s surface.
Detailed explanation-5: -carbon pollution. climate change. energy.
