Global warming, caused building up atmosphere, traps heat earth's dramatic climate changes shift delicate balance ecosystems around world. A number have been released chlorofluorocarbons, depletion protective ozone layer, causes harmful ultraviolet radiation reach earth. may be prevented if businesses stop using toxic substances first place. This would require cessation fuel-burning processes, from industrial manufacturing home use conditioners.
