Warm wet summers in Britain, drought in North America, the advance of the Sahara Desert - many strange climatic events around the world are now known to be the result of exhaust cases expelled into the earth's atmosphere. The alarming "hole" in the ozone layer over Antarctica has been caused by the release of gases used in aerosols and refrigerators. Has humanity pushed nature too far? In this researched and up-to-date investigation of the linked problems of the Greenhouse Effect and the ozone layer, Philip Neal gives readers a clear, practical, grasp of these much-discussed but often misunderstood issues.
