Letter: Letters : Ozone ignorant

Published 8 March 1997

I read in Netropolitan that you were “somewhat taken aback” at someone’s
belief that ozone depletion and global warming were one and the same thing
(Technology, 1 February, p 19). In my experience, the confusion is rife in the
minds of a majority of the population.

This was hardly helped by an advert run a couple of years ago for a brand of
car, “It also runs on unleaded petrol, so it’s ozone friendly too.”
