CFC's are (theoretically) damaging the ozone layer, allowing more
ultraviolet light to the planet's surface. The greenhouse effect is
(theoretically) caused by gases (co2, methane, etc) that pass the sun's
visible energy through but are opaque to the re-radiated infrared.
two completely different problems.
