How would you expect the thinning of the ozone layer to affect skin cancer rates?
The Ozone layer helps filter harmful rays from the sun. Less Ozone = Less filter = Higher cancer risk I'm only guessing on this part, but the ozone filters gamma rays and uv rays

Can you tan using hot water?
No. Heat from the sun is not what causes tan it is the ultraviolet rays similar to the rays that cause skin cancer. The reason heat is asoociated with them is that usually when the sun is bright enough that the UV rays are causing a tan infrared rays are also causing you to feel hot. This is why a bright sun on a cool day is very dangerous.
