A direct consequence of the Montreal agreement on chlorofluorocarbons has been vastly increased interest in measures required to deal with climate change. Clearly the summer heat and fall hurricanes facilitated this movement, as did the ever clearer articulation of an emerging scientific consensus t

Satellite and ozone-sonde observations indicated a decreasing trend in the ozone concentration in the lower stratosphere and an increasing trend in the troposphere, especially the upper troposphere. We have used a one-dimensional radiative -convective model (RCM) to examine the climate implications
Increases in chlorinated and brominated halocarbons are believed to be responsible for the depletion of stratospheric ozone observed over much of the globe in the past decade or so. Ozone depletion is in turn believed to lead to a negative radiative forcing, tending to cool the stratosphere and the
