Fifty-five countries, or enough to bring the total global emissions to 55%, were needed before the agreement could come into effect
To date, 97 have joined, representing 69.22% of global emissions

Depletion stratospheric and tropospheric ozone
Halocarbons
Montreal protocol
CFC's are released into the environment
Causes damage to human nervous system, kidney's, and the liver
Sunlight breaks CFC's up releasing chlorine
Chlorine reacts with ozone, and destroys it
More reactions cause more depletion of ozone
Ground-level ozone, produced by a reaction between sunlight and chemicals in vehicle exhaust, occurs near ground level as a smog-forming pollutant
Decreased plant growth
Phytoplankton and zooplankton very sensitive and die

Hot and cold air
They carry their weather conditions from the source region to a new region
Air masses reach new region
Might clash with another air mass
That has a different temperature and humidity
Winds blowing over warm currents result in a good amount of rainfall
Moisture laden
Cold currents drop the temperature along the coast
Due to global warming fewer winter deaths
Warm currents raise the temperature along the coast
clashing air temperatures
formation of clouds, fog, and cause precipitation
water vapour increases temperature & humidity of the air
Water vapour interaction with CO2
Higher level of water vapour
Reduced albedo
More water evaporating from oceans
precipitation and storms
act as conveyer belt
Warm and cold water
helping tropical areas cool off
sending heat towards polar regions
