Would global warming affect ozone levels in the atmosphere?

No! The ozone layer is completely separate from global warming. Ozone levels are affected by chemical compounds called CFCs, which are no longer used in most countries, but used to be in aerosol sprays and fridges. Global warming is affected by levels of greenhouse gasses, like carbon dioxide, trapping heat from the sun in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is given off from cars and when electricity is produced.

Why were cfcs used in aerosol sprays?

CFCs break down in the upper atmosphere due to UV light from the sun, forming chlorine radicals (chlorine paricles that will react with just about anything). These will collide with ozone, which is a chemical found in the stratosphere that absorbs harmful solar rays, breaking it down into oxygen. This process destroys the naural defenses the earth has against damaging levels of solar radiation. Without ozone, cancers and blindness would affect almost every living creature on earth.
