Are global warming and the thinning ozone layer the same issue?

Does the thinning of the ozone layer result in a hotter Earth? Or just more rays that don't make a difference in temperature? And is global warming caused/causing thinning ozone layer/vise-versa?


Thanks,


~~Ali. :)Are global warming and the thinning ozone layer the same issue?
No, although one could argue that anything is related to everything.





That's no what you mean I don't think though.





They are both caused by pollution. ozone deterioration is from certain chemicals that can be used in aerosol cans and refrigerant coolant. the stuff floats up and breaks apart the oxygen molecules (Ozone = O3).





Global arming is about putting stored greenhouse gases into the air faster than they are put back in the ground, or stored in other places (like plants).
