In your opinion, what contribution does ozone make to climate change and global warming? Do you understand that, unlike carbon dioxide, ozone's absorption band in the infra-red spectrum is unsaturated, meaning an increase in tropospheric ozone will have a far greater impact on infra-red absorption than carbon dioxide?
