Now now, you can't necessarily say that it DEFINITELY exists. Keep in mind that while we do have evidence that could point to it, there is no absolute and undeniable truth. How can we really be sure that the climate changes are really entirely due to global warming? We humans have only tracked the weather for so long, and Earth has gone through plenty of hot spells as well as ice ages. Our planet is ever changing, and I honestly doubt that we could have such a major impact simply by mixing up and changing certain atoms and molecules. Of course, consider that we do impact the ozone layer. Does it not make sense that the Ozone molecules broken down could reform? Ozone is a triatomic molecule, made up of 3 oxygen atoms. Considering that they formed by themselves to begin with, wouldn't it seem that the oxygen could continue to reform in order to create more ozone? And even if not, with todays high and ever advancing technology, could we not, with some good funding... VERY good funding... produce man-made ozone? Nothing chemically altered, simply naturally induced ozone. The way I see it, this problem will more than likely resolve itself, and if not, it's a problem easily solved with enough effort.
