5. The Ozone Hole Causes Global Warming
Many people mistakenly link the ozone hole to global warming, but they are distinct issues.
Ozone depletion is caused by chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and results in more harmful UV rays reaching Earth’s surface.
In contrast, global warming is driven by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which trap heat in the atmosphere.
