What does ozone have to do with global warming?

Ozone is a gas produced by the sun's reaction with oxygen. Ozone alerts in cities come from a warm sunny day. Ozone is a natural occurring gas. A great example of how this is a natural process is the "hole" in the zone layer. This occurs when then sun can not hit the ozone layer and ozone startes to decay into oxygen. That is why we only see these "holes" near the poles and only during their winter months. The ozone layer is not connected to global warming. If the atmosphere beneath the ozone layer warms, the thermocline between the troposphere and the ozone layer weakens. This then allows more water vapor to enter the ozone layer, and reduce the amount of ozone found there at any given time.
