I always understood the ozone problem was the growing hole in the ozone layer over Antartica, which thereby increased the risk of skin cancer.
However, the sun never gets further south than the Tropic of Capricorn and simple geometry proves that the sun cannot shine directly on any populated area on the Earth, therefore there is no increase in the amount of UV radiation.
I have obviously got something wrong as so many scientist and intellectuals forecast doom & gloom?
