Does CFC cause global warming?


CFC causes ozone layer depletion. Ozone is a green house gas and causes global warming. If CFC reduces ozone, then does it mean that CFC does not affect global warming.

I read that CFC itself is a greenhouse gas. In that case, it should cause global warming.

CFC causes ozone layer depletion. Ozone is a green house gas and causes global warming. If CFC reduces ozone, then does it mean that CFC does not affect global warming.

Think CFC is the greenhouse gas and not ozone. It depletes the ozone layer which in turn allow more of the sun's energy to reach the earth.

thanx

The above link mentions ozone as one of the gh gas. Hence confusing. I agree that ozone layer reduces the sun's heat and UV rays from reaching earth.

But option (4) specifically stated \"....but not in flask A\".

For science, this is a very strong statement and it would mean that not a tiny bit of milkiness is allowed in A.\"

I go for (1)

CO2 is a trace gas. While there may be precipitation (is that the right word?), I believe it's not enough to turn the water milky. I'll got for (4)

No CFC does not cause global warming. CFC and global warming are not related. The depletion of the ozone layer causes UV rays to penetrate into Earth but does not increase the temperature. For example, Australia is near the equator, where there is a large hole in the ozone layer, but that does not necessarily mean that the temperature is affected.

I am a student taking the same exam tomorrow so do please forgive me if I am wrong in one way or another.
