∙ 13y agoThe industrial use of freons did do this in the period up until the end of the 1980s, by destroying much of the atmospheric ozone layer, which normally blocks most of the sun's ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth. Fortunately, world governments took action in time, and the ozone layer is restoring itself. This is an object lesson that should be heeded in dealing with global warming.
