Ozone healing threatens

Everyone’s concern today is regarding the healing of the ozone layer. The earth’s protective layer has been dented profoundly by our activities. Fortunately our protector the ozone layer is expected to heal over the next 50 years or so. This layer protects earth occupants from the detrimental ultraviolet rays that may in turn cause skin cancer in addition to the mutation in other organisms. They soak up the UV rays before it could stumble on the earth’s surface. Regrettably a rather sour one accompanies this good news. This healing progression may put the brakes on a fast-moving wind current, which would further exacerbate the global warming by heating up the stratosphere. This wind jet would reduce its pace near the south pole which is intended to impinge on the surface temperatures, the extent of sea ice, storm attacks, the location of arid regions and so on.
