Anyone whos' actually taken the time to do the research will see the the cycle of warming that's occuring now globally is absolutely normal when we're talking about prehistoric climatology. The cataclysmic end of the last ice age was about 10,400 years ago, and we have been in the in-between phase since then. We are well due for some global warmnig to occur, and specilized science has shown that the global warming we're feelnig now is actually even more mild than the warming trend that occured before the last ice age. Even Antarctica at the time was relatively ice-free.

A lot more factors than just the ozone layer affect climate. The planet's position in the precessional cycle, other gravitational effects from planets and the sun (which are fluctuating, no large gravitational object has perfectly stable gravity all the time). The gravitation can affect things like techtonic plates, which can also contribute to the cycle with volcanic eruptions. Believe me, the super-volcano calderas of places like yellowstone HAVE gone off in the past, and their concequences have been as bad as Nuclear weapons.

Another major influence is earth's magnetic field. It too, fluctuates, and it can affect the effectiveness of our atmosphere to remain as a protective shield. Just as much as the ozone layer, the magnetic field protect earth from the sun's harmful effects, and a weak, fluctuating magnetic field that's allowing more of those rays in will also create a major warming trend. (Studies HAVE shown that the earth's magnetic field is currently in such a state of flux, and that it IS having a negative impact on atmospheric effectiveness).

I'm not saying the things that people are doing aren't contributnig in a negative fashion to the global trend towards warming in the last 50 years or so. But to pin it all on humanity alone would be like accusing the flea on the dog's back of gnawing off it's leg. The self-destructive capabilities of the earth itself in one fell swoop are far more powerful and effective than jsut about anything mankind can come up with.
