Article Details:   Global warming would be much worse if the world had not put a halt to the destruction of the ozone hole above Antarctica, say researchers. The 1987 Montreal protocol, which restricts the use of CFCs and other ozone-depleting chemicals, will cut warming by five or six times more than the Kyoto protocol.

Article Details:   Almost 30 years after it was first reported that pollutants were destroying the Earth's protective ozone layer, there is clear evidence that the global CFC ban has had an impact. For the first time, it has been shown that the rate of ozone depletion in the upper stratosphere is slowing down. The time lag between the CFC ban and the start of ozone recovery is due to the slowness of the cycle involved. CFCs last between 45 to 100 years in the atmosphere.
