Abstract
One greenhouse gas, ozone, is important and beneficial in both protecting the surface of the planet from ultraviolet radiation and in giving the earth’s atmosphere a special layer, the stratosphere.
Every once in a while I feel despair over the fate of the planet. If you’ve been following climate science, you know what I mean: the sense that we’re hurtling toward catastrophe but nobody wants to hear about it or do anything to avert it.
Paul Krugman
