Did you know that the Polar Bear is the largest terrestrial predator? These 1400 pound bears are in fact not on the endangered species list because of their steady population of over 22,000. But it has been said that there is no doubt these Polar Bears are going to go extinct in a few years. Because the ozone layer is getting thinner every day the Polar Bears' ice caps are melt away. What happens is that a peice of ice breaks off and then the Polar Bears are stuck on the ice miles away from land or ice if you prefer.
These Polar Bears measure more than nine feet in length are are great predators. Eating seals and penguins the Polar Bears will wait for the seals and penguins to surface for air. And then he or she strikes. These bears have adapted very well to the climate and conditions of the Artic circle. Some Polar bears live as far south as northern Canada. That is pretty far!

I am not knocking you for caring about Global Warming but this has nothing directly to do with the Ozone Layer problem.
There are signs that the Ozone Layer is recovering, due to the decrease in the use of CFC based products.
The periodic depletion in the Ozone Layer does not 'cause' a warming effect in the way that you are suggesting.
The only reason why people link the two together,as a cause and effect, is due mainly to the fact that the two issues get linked together in the popular media.
What IS causing Global Warming is a matter of current debate. It is by no means obvious that human beings are totally responsible for what is happening.
Nevertheless, most people would accept that it would be unwise to add to the problem by the excessive release of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Anyway - at least you care about things but remember that nature is not always benign and there is no such thing as a 'natural balance' of nature.
Nature is prone to positive as well as negative feedback and can get out of balance all on its own!
All the best

Wow, I didn't know that. I glad to hear from you because my recent reading lead me to believe that the world wouldn't be inhabited by humans in the next 100 years or more. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you, Dennis. I could not have said it quite as well as you did.
