Man made climate change question ....

I am having a hard time following the hole in the ozone layer stuff.
I am trying to understand but things don't seem to add up for me.

For one, how do you make a hole in a gas?? Isn't that like Scooby-Do logic where the fog is so thick he cuts it with a butter knife??

Also, the hole is supposed to be over the north pole where there has never been any industry that I know of.

So first ozone is: "An unstable, poisonous allotrope of oxygen, O3, that is formed naturally in the ozone layer from atmospheric oxygen by electric discharge or exposure to ultraviolet radiation.".
It's made every day.

Something I do understand is that ozone is a diamagnetic molecule.
"Of or relating to a substance that generates a magnetic field in the direction opposite to an externally applied magnetic field and is therefore repelled by it."
So if that being true, wouldn't that mean that ozone molecules would be pushed apart in a strong magnetic field? Making it appear to be thinner there? Like at the north pole?

The stuff that eats up the ozone layer are bromine or chlorine.
" Bromine gas is heavier than air, so it would settle in low-lying areas."
"Chlorine gas is a chemical compound consisting of one chlorine atom and two atoms of oxygen. It's poisonous, colorless, flammable, and heavier than air-which means it will sink to low areas in your home or business before spreading out."
So if both are heavier than air, how are they getting 23,000 feet off the ground and into the ozone layer?

The more I look for answers the more I scratch my head.

Every high school science class. Trees absorb co2 and release o2…

2022…
We’re all gunna die!

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout So trees eat C's???
@Dainbramadge the perfect example is the Australian outback.
It’s dry.. it’s arid.. it’s rains sweet fuck all.
Yet the roads all have a meter strip of green grass either side..?
Strange innit?
Or is it logical that the plant life grows there because of all the exhaust?

And that’s why cows and sheep and kangaroos go splat. They’re attracted to the green grass.. that’s not growing anywhere else

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout If all the bad gases stayed at ground level as you suggest we'd all be dead by now..

And there are far fewer trees in the world then there was in high school days.
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout its more likely the ditch on either side of the road for water run, not only holds water , but gets excess water from what's displaced by the road.

But you arent completely wrong about what's called 'carbon fertilisation'.
And car exhausts do also release water vapour.
