New research has revealed that three previously unknown chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and one related compound appear to be slowing down the recovery of ozone hole over Antarctica.
Health Effects of Global Warming/What is Global Warming?
Greenhouse effect causes excessive heat to build up in the earth’s atmosphere causing global warming and affects the environment and health.

The ozone hole over Antarctica has been gradually healing ever since the Montreal Protocol began limiting the production of ozone-depleting chemicals in 1989.
These CFCs were commonly used in refrigerators, air conditioners and aerosol.
Air Conditioner Health Hazards
This section gives a brief introduction about what air conditioner health hazard means and what kind of people get affected by it, and what causes them.

In research on centuries-old snow samples taken from Greenland, the team did not detect any of the four new compounds in those samples before the 1960s.

Modest Increase in Urban Parks Could Equalize Global Warming Until 2080s
A modest increase in the number of urban parks and street trees in our major cities could offset decades of predicted temperature rise.

"The findings call for a thorough examination of possible sources, and may offer a good opportunity to tighten the loopholes in the treaty," Laube added in a report published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
