How has the climate of the Earth changed over time? The depletion of the Ozone layer is amongst the most integral factors that contribute to climate variability. The Ozone layer shields the Earth from the harmful UV rays sent by the sun. Excessive concentrations of CFCs released to the Earth's atmosphere damage the Ozone layer.
In addition, excessive concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat within the Earth's atmosphere. The natural system is that UV rays from the sun are filtered by the Ozone layer. Part of it is then reflected by the land and seas of the world back towards space. With the damaged portions of the Ozone layer, UV rays penetrate the Earth's atmosphere unfiltered. Then, the excessive heat is trapped by large concentrations of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere. This causes abnormal climate changes within various areas of the world.
