Saving the Ozone Layer by Making it Harder to Breathe

[Ban my account ffs!]

while I doubt these have much, if any, effect on the ozone layer, it should be noted that stratospheric ozone reached its low point in the mid 1990s and has been rising since, thanks in most part to the Montreal Protocol.

This has also had a big impact on winter weather in Europe and North America since stratospheric ozone (you know.. the ozone layer) builds up in the Arctic over the winter (due to lack of sunlight), falls into the troposphere, compresses, and heats both the stratosphere and upper troposphere.  This in turn slows the polar winds and allows blocking high pressure to form.  This high pressure squeezes the frigid Arctic air out of the Arctic and into places like London and D.C.

With all those CFC emissions in the 80s... we pretty much consigned Britain to a future of perpetually dreary, rainy, mild winters.  But alas, we've saved the day and have brought their economy to a crashing halt on several occasions during the past 3 winters.
