Carbon Emissions, Ozone, Green House Effect, Global Warming - In One Pic

The earth is bombarded with harmful UV rays from space. 

The ozone (O3) layer, found high up in the stratosphere, protects the earth from the space UV rays. 

The green house gasses (which contains ozone), found down low in the troposphere, retains heat on earth to keep it nice and warm.

But too much trapped heat, known as the green house effect, causes global warming.  The trap heat is caused by carbon CO2 emissions, such as pollution from cars.

Separately, ozone depletion,  is the lack of ozone that happens over the the Antarctica. The depletion is caused by human made chemicals, such as CFC, eating away the ozone.





 

To reduce green house effect, which will reduce global warming, carbon emissions must be reduced.
