New scientific insight and new research have confirmed that global climate change is taking place and is projected to continue. Impacts of climate change on society and natural resources are already occurring worldwide and are projected to become even more pronounced. Much of the recent global warming can be attributed to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities.
Climate change and depletion of the ozone layer are two separate issues, but with interactions related to the emissions of compounds as well as the physical and chemical changes in the atmosphere. Ozone‑depleting substances and their replacement compounds are GHGs with long atmospheric lifetimes and they will, therefore, contribute to climate change for many years to come.
