Where to begin? I suppose the utmost basics would suffice.
What is the Sun? Most of us would step into the light of summer and feel the heat and say, the Sun is hot, well, surprise, it's not. The Sun, like any other black body radiator, is defined to the rules that the hotter temperature the body, the shorter wavelength it emmits in the electromagnetic spectrum. To eliminate some of the confusion, basically the Sun emmits visible to gamma radiation. (Analogous to iron, which is also a black body radiator ... as is the Earth ... which as it heats up it goes from red, to orange, to yellow, to intense blue light which is often confused as white light).
The light that penetrates the atmosphere (which will later explain why Ozone depletion is a fabrication) is only intense (extremely intense) visible light, and about 5% of the actual gamma radiation that actually bombards the earth and etc.
Mostly, just very intense visible light (you know its intense because people go blind from looking at the Sun).
Intensity is merely the amplitude, but not the actual wavelength of the light.
Thermal radiation (that radiation longer than near-infrared) is not emmitted by the Sun.
Thermal radiation is the stuff that comes from ... well ... the Earth, and ovens, and microwaves, and etc.
Ok, not convinced enough that the Earth is not heated-up by thermal radiation?
Let's look at the Seasons.
When the Northern Hemisphere is in Summer, that portion of the world is receiving more direct visible light, and the Southern Hemisphere is receiving less visibile light as the light strikes that area more obliquely.
This is evidenced by the temperature changes...
Why does this happen?
Because the Earth is "fluorescent" to steal the word...which best explains the actions taking place. (A fluorescent object absorbs the energy of visible light or UVs especially, changing the orbits of an electron and that change in orbit emmits radiation, usually thermal or visible in light. This is not the complete definition but for the purposes here this is how it acts). The Earth absorbs the visible energy, so does numerous other things, plants, water, atmospheric gases, people and the things they make. The Earth then re-emmits the energy as thermal energy. Heat.
This is why when you face the Sun, the side facing it feels warm, that side of your body is hit by direct light and releasing that absorbed energy as thermal energy, heating itself up. This is why you do not feel the heat on the other side of your body. If you were to step into an oven, would you feel the heat only on the side of the elements? No. It does not matter which way your roast is oriented in an oven or microwave.
Frost, for instance, forms in shadows, because it does not absorb the visible light to then release it as heat energy.
Now, it should make sense that the seasons occur because of exposure to the Sun's visible and shorter wave-lengthed radiation.
Mostly visible because so little of the shorter wave-lengths reach the Earth's lower atmosphere.
Here's where the Global Warming theory falls apart. The theory predicts that human caused CO2 emissions are heating the Earth. This is easily refuted by another known fact, which comes from the observation of the Sun since 1600s.
Sunspots.
In 1957, more Sunspots were recorded than any other time prior or after.
Why is this significant? It is known that the intensity of solar radiation is proportional to the number of Sunspots. The more Sunspots, the more intense the radiation, the less, the less intense. In 1957, more Sunspots were recorded...than ever before or after, but afterwards, there are still a high number of Sunspots. That means that since 1957 the Earth has been receiving a greater amount of Solar Energy which it then releases as thermal energy, cooking itself. More visible light...more thermal energy. Global warming.
Some supportive evidence comes from back in the 1600s, when there were very few Sunspots being recorded, and some years there were none, and the 1600s-1700s saw a "mini-ice age" in which the River Thymes froze over solid, crops were ruined, and famine hit Europe.
This suggests that in fact, the commonsesnse interpretation, is correct. Solar activity affects Global temperature, and right now we have a hightend activity of the Sun...thus Global Warming.
Now, how does this affect Ozone?
Ozone is created and destroyed by Solar Radiation, specifically, UV but also shorter wave lengths. Oxygen is the source of creation of Ozone. When UV light strikes Oxygen, it is converted into 2O instead of O2 (that is 2 single atoms of Oxygen instead of the elemental binary it naturally forms because of energy efficiency). It is converted into 2O with about 90% efficiency. These single Oxygens are joined to a regular O2 and form O3 (Ozone). That process of formation absorbes UV light (protecting us from that spectrum of the Sun).
O3 is then bombarded by UV and is broken into a single Oxygen and O2. The process is reversed, and is about 95% efficient. This process absorbes the UV energy of the Sun.
When there is little sunlight (because the light is striking the Earth obliquely in the Winter) then there is Ozone depletion.
This is because O3 naturally decays and other elements produced naturally (by either volcanoes or other processes) decay O3.
So the long winters of the North and Southern poles allow for significant Ozone depletion (hence Ozone Holes).
The question may arise, "why then is the most significant hole in the Southern Pole so much more depleted than the Northern hole"?
The answer is not well understood, but the differences between the Northern and Southern poles (a huge landmass and lack there-of) is thought to hold the answer.
Certainly human produced CFCs are not all congregating at the South Pole.
Hopefully this lengthy explaination will have now awakend you to the reality.
Some unscrupulous Scientists push the idea of human caused Global Warming and Ozone holes, merely to get Grant money...or maybe because they actually believe in information contradictory to the evidence. Afterall, people used to deny the theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun.
