What atmospheric problem was addressed by the international community in recent years and solved by the Montreal protocol?
The ozone layer is thinning every day .Population is the main reason .we are injecting are own industrial gases into this delicate system.
Question1:
As defined Population-is the number of people in a country or land. Before any great civil or country conflict resulting into revolutions or not even warfare revolutions mankind’s population number never did rapidly incremented, it was more of a constant steady increments across the world population. Until revolutions and migrations from east to west or west to east across the coast and continents of America the most possible reasons or factors that have impacted the population of the earth over the last 5000 yrs to me would be the Agricultural and industrial revolutions. The agricultural revolution created a expansion in family members which would be able to help in the year to year harvest because it would be nearly impossible for one man to do the labor of two and still be a full time husband and father. It was not just a necessity of family members but working class population increment f or those working class people which would help out in the agricultural and also later on industrial revolution working machinery and becoming part of the trade and production industries across the globe.
1. The atmospheric problem that was addressed by the international community in the recent years was about the ozone layer, how the ultraviolet light is damaging the life on earth, becuase its decreasing the earth ozone shield. And the Montreal protocol controls the production of substances that can help the ozone not decrease.
The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was adopted in 1987 as an international treaty to eliminate the production and consumption of ozone-depleting chemicals, with developing countries benefiting from a ten-year grace period. The ozone depleting chemicles were aerosals and thigns in that nature.
My response to the second question changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations have occurred in the past 50 years and how do scientists account for this excess carbon, they increased greatly in the past 50 years by the 100 ppm.
The population challenges in the United States today are that the US is one of the most populated countries in. It is the 3rd largest. I think some possible changes that can be made are to make the bprder stronger than it is possibly by putting a fence all around.
The problem in the community that was adresed from the community was about the ozone layer and how it is damaging the life on earth, by decreasing earths ozone shield. And the protocol controls the production of substance that can help the ozone not decrease.

The ozone layer in the atmosphere has been getting thiner every day more because of certain damaging gases and because of ultra violet rays. To help protect the ozone layer the Montreal Protocol has worked very hard in designing several experiments which would prevent the ultra violet rays,as well as all the damaging gases from destroying the ozone layer.
The ozone is an important part of the planet earth that protects us from the suns harmful rays. The problem is that we are slowly destroying our ozone layer and not taking in consideration the dangers that it can put on us and our planet. The atmospheric problem that has been addressed by the international community in recent years was the hole across the Antarctic Ocean. Scientist have discovered that the cause to the problem is harmful chemicals such as CFCs. CFCs contain chlorine which is very harmful to our ozone layer and till this day they are still being used. Once scientist discovered that CFCs were part of the cause of the hole that damaged the ozone layer, twenty-four nations decided to decrease the production of CFCs by creating the Montreal Protocol. The nations that signed the Montreal Protocol were responsible for ninety-nine percent of the production and ninety percent of the consumption of CFCs in the world. If we keep reducing the usage of CFCs the ozone layer can be saved, protected and be restored. But if people continue to use these harmful chemicals life on earth will not be pleasant in the future. Minor changes to our lives can help save our ozone layer from destruction. In the long run it will benefit both the people and the planet.
The atmospheric problem that was addressed was the hole in the ozone layer. The chlorofluorocarbons, which come from certain products that human beings uses daily, are broken down by solar energy, releasing chlorine. Unfortunately, these broken up pieces of chlorine attacks and destroy the ozone layer, destroying thousands of ozone molecules, creating a hole and allowing harmful ultraviolet rays in contact with people on Earth. To prevent the ozone depletion is by cutting back on the use of chlorofluorocarbons and harmful chemicals. The Montreal Protocol is an agreement between 24 nations to reduce the production of chlorofluorocarbons in several ways.
Responding to question one.
One of the problems that is occuring is that the ozone layer is the it is getting thinner and thinner everyday, by just using hair spray.
1.The atmospheric problem addressed by the international community was “the hole” in the ozone layer. The cause of “the hole” was anthropogenic chemicals or CFC’s. CFC’s are organic compounds that are made up of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. It was calculated that once a chlorine atom that had been produced from a chlorofluorocarbon molecule could actually destroy thousands of ozone molecules. Chlorofluorocarbons do not break apart by themselves either, in order for them to break apart solar energy is required.
In September 16, 1987 after researching the ozone depletion and the problem, the final step was taken in order to help solve this issue. Twenty-four nations signed the Montreal Protocol. By signing the nations were agreeing to attempt to restore the ozone layer. Also, even though the nations that did sign were not the biggest they were still responsible for ninety percent of the world’s consumption of CFC’s.
The most recent atmospheric problem has been about the ultra violet light that is beginning to damage the earth’s layer. The Earth consists of many different layers but as the layers get higher into the sky the thinner they are. This means that this light is starting to thin out the layers of Earth that aren’t supposed to be thin.One of the reasons could be population. This problem truly needed to be addressed by the Montreal Protocol.
Response to question #1:
The atmospheric problem that the international community was facing was the destruction of the ozone layer. The ozone is very important because it protects us from harmful sun radiation. It absorbs lower (UV-C), middle (UV-B), and higher wavelengths (UV-A). Not only human health was in danger, but also different types of crops and susceptible animal species.
The Montreal protocol was the solution adopted to help restore the ozone layer. Every country signed it and resolved not to use chemicals that would continue damaging the ozone layer. This protocol is a proof that every country in this world can forget their differences and unite to save the environment. Just like with the Montreal protocol, today we can unite to create alternative energy sources and help reduce the CO2 levels to keep our Earth safe for many more years.
The thinning of the ozone layer is the atmospheric problem that was adressed by the international community in recent years. Montreal protocol solved this problem by controlling the production of ozone depleting substances and by designing experiments that would help reduce the negative impact on Earth caused by UV rays.
What atmospheric problem was addressed by the international community in recent years and solved by the Montreal protocol?
The ozone layer was addressed by the international community in recent years and solved by Montreal protocol. The population is the main reason for this. It decreases the Earth's ozone shield and Montreal protocol, which was adopted in 1987, help control the ozone shield.
What atmospheric problem was addressed by the international community in recent years and solved by the Montreal protocol?
The atmospheric problem in recent years is the ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner everyday. And because of that there were many mutations occurred. The reason for the ozone is getting thinner is because of the chemical that we released everyday have damaged our atmosphere. Scientist are working to help improve it.
The problem that was addressed by the international community was the so called hole in the ozone layer. Anthropogenic chemicals or CFC’s was the cause of this hole. CFC’s are organic compounds that are made up of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. Studies show that a chlorine atom that had been produced from a chlorofluorocarbon molecule could actually destroy thousands of ozone molecules. In September 16, 1987 after realizing the problem in the ozone layer, the last step to solve was finally taken. Twenty-four nations signed the Montreal Protocol. By signing this, the nations were agreeing to attempt to restore the ozone layer. The nations that did not sign this were actually responsible for niney percent of the world’s consumption of CFC’s.
The atmospheric problem that was adressed by the international communtiy is that the ozone layer is getting thinner due to chemicals. The Montreal protocol is used to control the substances that were causing the ozone layer to get thinner.
