or:Regarding the comment about Antarctica, the ozone hole is not a true \"hole\" in the ozone layer. The depletion of ozone in some places has reached up to a 65% loss, but not a complete loss of ozone. Antarctica does not have a large population of people, and those who are there working in the research centers do not spend a lot of time outdoors \"in the sun\"; typically they have to wear a lot of layers of protective clothing due to the cold weather. The extreme cold poses a greater threat of death than intense UV light. In Australia, however, which is near to the Antarctic and where people do spend time outdoors, skin cancer does lead to death and is a much more prevalent cause of death than in regions located farther from Antarctica. Terrestrial life was not possible before the ozone layer formed, and while the ozone layer is essential to terrestrial life, its depletion has already had an effect on ocean life, reducing photosynthesis in surface plants like plankton which are a food source to mammals such as whales and smaller organisms like krill which are also a food source to whales and other ocean life. The intensity of UV radiation from the sun, without a protective blanket of ozone in the stratosphere, does not allow life to flourish on the earth, not even in the water.
