These notes explore key concepts of global atmospheric changes, including ozone depletion, the greenhouse effect, and the impacts of climate change. They detail the science behind ozone layer formation and destruction, the role of greenhouse gases in global warming, and the long-term effects on ecosystems, sea levels, and weather patterns. The notes also highlight international efforts like the Montreal Protocol and explain how human activity shapes the planet’s future.
