CFCs act upon Earth to open a hole in our stratospheric ozone. If one notes the hole appears over the poles. The two coldest areas of Earth. Even with a warming Earth, the north and south pole will continue to be a place of less temperature than the rest of Earth, but, the question has to be asked, "What happens to the stratospheric ozone when the poles have lost their ice?"
To my knowledge that potential hasn't been breached. The CFC level also effects global warming in that without stratospheric ozone plants (carbon sinks) become sunburned no differently than humans do. What falls into question then is the viability of the plants and the loss of more chlorophyll. To that understanding CFCs are just as much a part of global warming as CO2.
The USA has to take back it's place as the moral leader of the free world. It is simply wrong to allow corruption in our country that diminishes it's image and creates international doubt. Our integrity has never been more important and our faithful morality to future generations never more profound.

The image of Earth below shows a hot planet with an easily noted "heat transfer cloud system' from equator to the Arctic Circle.
...Because our atmosphere is one connected system, (click here) it is not surprising
that ozone depletion and global warming are related in other ways. For
example, evidence suggests that climate change may contribute to
thinning of the protective ozone layer....
... Ozone (O3) is found in two different parts of our atmosphere. Ground level ozone, a human health irritant and component of smog, is found in the lower atmosphere (troposphere) and has nothing to do with the "ozone hole." However, ozone in the stratosphere—the layer of atmosphere above the troposphere (see Figure 2)—accounts for the vast majority of atmospheric ozone. Stratospheric ozone is protective of human health as it absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun, preventing the radiation from hitting Earth's surface and harming living organisms from this biologically dangerous radiation....
...Stratospheric ozone absorbs energy from the ultraviolet part of the solar spectrum, heating the lower stratosphere. This part of the spectrum accounts for less than one percent of the total solar energy reaching our atmosphere. [1] Stratospheric ozone is important because it prevent dangerous ultraviolet rays from harming plants and animals on Earth's surface, but reductions in the amount of radiation absorbed does not have a measurable impact on temperatures below....
