However, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) caused damage to the ozone layer and were phased out following the Montreal Protocol in 1987. Production of Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) then increased globally, because they are less harmful to stratospheric ozone. Monitoring carbon dioxide.

CFCs and HCFCs are synthetic gases attributed to ozone layer destruction. HFCs heighten the greenhouse effect, while carbon dioxide similarly intensifies global warming. Carbon dioxide is a better alternative, though its use still contributes to global warming.

Although this level was not defined by the convention, the aim was to allow ecosystems and society to adapt naturally to climate change, which means slowing global warming down. In addition, several states have their own more demanding legislation in place, such as California’s and Massachusetts’ Global Warming Solutions Act.

For instance, while leaking methane from thawing permafrost may be categorized as a “natural” source, it is the result of global warming, which is in large part driven by the combustion of fossil fuels. In addition to slowing the rate of warming, cutting methane also reduces negative health impacts.
