About the ozone layer of the Earth is known that too many inhabitants of the planet only that it appeared a huge hole, and it threatens universal catastrophe. And then in the newspapers and magazines there are articles where people are afraid of the potential problems. Scientists say about the coming climate change that will negatively affect all life on Earth. Whether so it actually? Should I be concerned now, and not whether scientists exaggerate the scale of impending doom? Are we threatened in the near future the depletion of the ozone layer, and how it can affect the climate? We will try to understand.
In 1985 was adopted the Convention for the protection of the ozone layer. Signatures under it were put by the representatives of 44 States. After a year signed another important document — the Montreal Protocol. Under its provisions, the world was substantially restricted the production and consumption of substances that destroy the ozone. Some tried to resist these prohibitions. But for each country was clearly defined quotas in a dangerous industry that should not be exceeded. After all, at stake is the fate of all mankind.
In our country this problem is also paying a lot of attention. According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation the ozone layer is one of the important natural sites. It should be protected. The law "On environmental protection" reglamentary protective measures aimed at the protection of this natural site from damage, pollution, destruction and exhaustion. In article 56 of the Act describes the activities for the protection of the ozone layer of the Earth. Among them: organization of observation of this natural object. continuous monitoring of the changing state of the climate, which is influenced by the activity of economic entities or other processes; strict compliance with standards for emission of harmful substances into the atmosphere; regulation of the production of chemicals that destroy the ozone layer; the application of penalties and punishments for violation of these requirements. There are several international organizations and inspections, which are carefully monitored, as are measures to protect the ozone layer in the different countries of the world.
The ozone layer is not only an umbrella for ultraviolet radiation, but also a kind of cover for the Ground. It traps the heat that is dissipated from the surface of our planet. The thinner the ozone layer, the faster the warm air near the Ground is cooled. As the researchers note, the temperature of the planet gradually, year after year, is reduced. It promotes change in the prevailing winds. Weather is extremely changeable.

Trees, flowers and other vegetation, not only beautify our life, but also perform many important functions: produce necessary for life oxygen, trap dust and harmful emissions, regulate the temperature regime, etc. When buying a refrigerator, air conditioner and other household appliances choose energy-efficient models. Moreover, all these equipment must be fully serviceable. Otherwise, these useful household appliances can be the cause of refrigerant leakage into the atmosphere.
