Jaime Lerner

Sometimes the media gives us the impression that we are terminal patients, because of problems of global warmth or the ozone layer. And the people, they don't understand that they can could change this situation for the better if they could act locally in a city.

Brazilian Politician

Mahathir Mohamad

The thinning of the ozone layer is blamed on logging of tropical forests. The fact that the burning of fossil fuels and release of CFCs (chloro-fluoro-carbons) into the atmosphere occur largely in the rich countries are significantly ignored.

Malaysian Politician

Elizabeth May

It is personal - deep in my bones and my flesh - the knowledge that we squandered our chance to avoid the climate emergency; to act when it would have been so much easier, as we did to stop acid rain, to save the ozone layer.

Canadian Politician

Laurel Clark

We're looking at Earth science, observing our planet. Also space science, looking at the ozone in the atmosphere around our Earth. Also looking at life science. And on a human level, using ourselves as test subjects.

American Astronaut

Robert Sapolsky

Not a whole lot of us are wrestling somebody for a canned food item in the supermarket or having an ax fight in the jungle clearing. Instead, we sit and think about taxes and the ozone layer.

American Scientist

Bill Cowher

The ozone is breaking down more and more each year; that's a fact. That being said, we have to be more conscious of the sun and what it can do to your skin.

American Coach

Severn Cullis-Suzuki

I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in our ozone, I am afraid to breathe the air because I don't know what chemicals are in it.

Canadian Activist

Lewis Black

It's absolutely stupid that we live without an ozone layer. We have men, we've got rockets, we've got saran wrap - fix it!

American Comedian

Johan Rockstrom

Global warming is a scientific fact as much as the hole in the ozone layer or Earth's orbit around the sun.

Environmentalist

Scott Pruitt

Ozone is something that we most definitely have to regulate. It's a very important thing to regulate.

American Politician

The 'ozone layer' refers to ozone high above Earth that shields us from UV radiation.

Protective Layer

Ozone depletion is a serious issue, often linked with climate change and global warming.

Environmental Concern

Discussing ozone often involves talk of health effects, like skin cancer risks from exposure.

Health Implications

Ozone is often mentioned to describe the particular smell after storms, due to lightning.

Post-Weather Smell

The term may be used figuratively to refer to a refreshing or cleansing event.

Figurative Use

Use 'ozone' for vivid imagery in creative writing, especially to set a scene after rain.

 They're always approximations. The question you have to ask is whether a model tells you more information than you would have had otherwise. If it does, it's skillful. This is the impact of the ozone hole on sea level pressure, so low pressure, high pressures,

 Once that happens, the chlorine atoms start devouring the precious ozone molecules. It wasn't until our planet developed an ozone layer, about two and a half billion years ago, that it was safe for life to leave the ocean for the land.

 Exhaust from fossil fuel-burning vehicles releases nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons which react to form ozone. And while some ozone in the upper atmosphere helps shield us from ultraviolet rays, on the ground,

 Ozone is a trace gas in the atmosphere. There are only about three molecules for every 10 million molecules of air but it does a very important job. The ozone layer acts as Earth's sunscreen,
