Ozone recovery will accelerate global warming say scientists
London, UK (SPX) Aug 21, 2025 The world is set to heat up more than expected because of future changes in ozone, which shields Earth from ultraviolet radiation but also acts as a greenhouse gas. Although international bans on ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFCs have aided the layer's recovery, combined effects with air pollution mean ozone could add 40% more warming than earlier predictions suggested. A University of Reading study projects that from 2015 to 2050, ozone will contribute 0.27 watts per square meter (Wm-2 ... read more |
