From this article:
The enhanced UV radiation, which promotes stratospheric ozone production and UV absorption, warm that layer of the atmosphere differently at different latitudes. The temperature gradients this creates provide a positive feedback amplifying the original solar forcing while affecting the climate in the lower atmosphere.
Could that possibly mean that the "ozone hole" is part and parcel of this temperature gradient effect? Would that lend weight to the idea that the ozone hole phenomenon has been going on long before man noticed it?
