Examining novel technologies such as geoengineering for the.
When released into the atmosphere, those chemicals damage the stratospheric ozone layer, earth’s protective shield that. Human activities have had a major effect on the balance of the antarctic marine ecosystem, this can be seen by damage of large agae such as kelp that is caused by increased uv penetration
