Today's pollution is causing much conflict with this world of which we call our home. With extremely high emissions, CFC's, and air pollution from today's leading manufacturers our world as we see it is shaping into something horrible that many of us don't even notice. Our ozone layer is being destroyed by our spiralling and uncontrollable way of life.
With temperatures rising each year we see our polar ice caps melting which may form some uneventful force of nature.
Our world is dying and we need to start taking control of our actions and preserve our home for generations to come.
With our continuing lifestyle we may soon see mother nature at her worst.

Chloroflourocarbons (CFC's) contain chlorine which is a catlytic agent, which in 1973 was found to destroy the ozone layer. The catalytic destruction of the ozone due to chlorine removes the odd oxygen species O^1 (atomic oxygen) and O^3 (ozone) and leaves chlorine behind.

What about Nitrous oxide?
You forgot to mention how long they stayed in the atmosphere.
You have to teach people these things or they will never believe we are the cause.
