CFC's are actually not related to global warming at all. They are used as coolants in refrigerators and propellants in spray cans. CFC's damage the ozone layer, which protects living organisms on Earth from the suns UV rays. So CFC's are not a factor of global warming.
But CO2, carbon dioxide, is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. Since the Earth absorbs the suns rays and more CO2 is formed (from people burning fossil fuels), this makes the worlds temperature become warmer.
Humans burning fossil fuels are causing global warming. This is continuing unchecked and is causing climate change. Human production of CFCs (now stopped) was responsible for ozone depletion. The ozone layer is very slowly recovering.
The hole in the ozone layer came about because of the artificially produced gases CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). These contained chlorine and bromine which destroyed ozone. CFCs are now banned. The ozone hole has very little to do with global warming.
Burning ethanol releases Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming. It has very little to do with the ozone layer, which was damaged last century by chlorine and bromine from CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), released from aerosols and refrigeration.
Global warming is an observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. The average global temperature has increased by around 0.75 degrees Celsius since the start of the Industrial Age. Part of this increase may be due to natural processes, and would have occurred independently of human activity. However, the consensus of most climate scientists is that global warming is substantially the result of human activities. They say that global warming is being caused by an enhanced greenhouse effect, resulting from an increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. Gases that contribute to global warming include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and halocarbons (the replacements for CFCs). The carbon dioxide emissions are primarily from the use of fossil fuels for energy and from deforestation. Global warming is real and is happening to the earth. Governments and individuals around the world are becoming alarmed at the potential harm that can result from global warming, and are taking action to reduce our carbon emissions.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a powerful greenhouse gas that is contributing to global warming.There are other greenhouse gases caused by human activity, namely Nitrous Oxide, methane, and some CFCs. All these greenhouse gases are causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.Deforestation is another cause. Before they were cut down, forests removed large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Oxygen was released, and the carbon was stored in the trees. Almost 50% of a tree is carbon.

Global warming was not originally caused by CFC's. However they are also a reason behind it.
No, ozone depletion was caused by CFCs in the atmosphere.
Methane, carbon dioxide, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
Actually CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) don't do much to cause global warming. CFCs destroy ozone, and may cause problems concerning the UV rays coming through the atmosphere. Global warming has to do with carbon dioxide levels and temperature.
The hole in the ozone layer came about because of the artificially produced gases CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). These contained chlorine and bromine which destroyed ozone. CFCs are now banned. The ozone hole has very little to do with global warming.
No, it is responsible for global warming and air pollution but not for depletion of CholoroFluoroCarbons (CFCs)
No, there are no suggestions that global warming will cause cancer. The depletion of the ozone layer, which is still being caused by CFCs from last century does cause cancer. Skin cancers (basal and squamous cell carcinomas) and melanomas are caused by the dangerous ultra-violet radiation which a weakened ozone layer lets through.

Ozone depletion is the way the ozone layer is weakened by attacks from the chlorine and bromine molecules in CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).Global warming is the recent (200 year) warming of the earth caused by man's burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
