1 Global exhaustion of an Ozone Layer as a Source of Destruction Mechanisms of Stabilizations of a Climate and strengthening of Earthquakes. Dr. Sci. Tech. Ponomar V.V. Professor of Moscow State University of Technologies and Management (Branch of Volokolamsk. Moscow Region). Military confrontation, NATO expansion conduct to growth of typhoons, flooding, droughts, avalanches and strengthening of earthquakes [1-4]. It has been noted in conclusions of 4 th and 5 th International scientific conferences Vulkanizm, biosphere and environmental problems (Tuapse 2006 and 2009 ): «To agree with V.V. Ponomar about an ozone layer exhaustion is the main reason of global warming of a climate, strengthening of abnormal displays of weather and increase of volcanic and seismic accidents. To address to the governments of all countries with expression of concern by a problem of an exhaustion of an ozone layer as consequences of local military conflicts, flights of "shuttles" and stratospheric supersonic aircraft (SSA). The projects of a monitoring and restoration of an ozone layer has been offered with. It have been published in scientific articles prior to the beginning of war in Iraq [1] forecasts about destruction of mechanisms of stabilizations of a climate because of flights of SSA and "shuttles", starts of combat missiles on firm fuel. A global exhaustion of an ozone layer at average widths of northern hemisphere has increased to 10 % that became the reason of sharp growth of anomalies of a climate (fig.1-4). It has been proved on the basis of the phenomenon of nonlinear absorption of light (a cycle of works of V.V. Ponomar in magazine «Quantum electronics» with 1981 for 1993) that the hypothesis of "a hotbed effect of carbonic gas» physically is not well founded [1-4]. It has been confirmed by the direct experimental measurements for the first time spent by specially developed technique in 2003, that carbonic gas is antihotbed gas: increase of its concentration in air leads to decrease in temperature of air. Reduction of temperature of troposphere on confirms that the bottom layers of atmosphere to heights of km possess antihotbed properties, radiating IR radiation in space: a hothouse the temperature with height growth grows in a usual hotbed (fig.4-6). The hotbed effect forms an ozone layer at heights to 20 km at the expense of absorption by ozone IR of radiation on length of a wave 9,67 microns and thermosphere, in which rockets because of starts conducts formation of holes to destruction of mechanisms of stabilizations of a climate [1-4]. It has been thrown out t chemical substances only for because of 34 starts "Space-Shuttle", after start of 126 " Space-Shuttles" the quantity of chemical substances in geo

2 space has made already more than 125 thousand tons! It is the direct proof of destruction of mechanisms of stabilizations of a climate because of an exhaustion of an ozone layer and an inconsistency of a hypothesis of a hotbed effect of carbonic gas: much faster rates of warming in Antarctica where the ozone layer exhaustion makes in September - October of % (fig.3). It has been shown in [1-4] that the catastrophic icing in Ukraine, Moldova, Dnestr region has occurred on November, 29th, 2000 because of an exhaustion of an ozone layer more than on 30 % because of war in Yugoslavia. Earthquake in Chile on February, 27th, 2010, an event after a separation of a huge iceberg from Antarctica, confirms that a principal cause of strengthening of catastrophic earthquakes is fast thawing of ices of Antarctica and Greenland because of an ozone layer exhaustion is abnormal. The projects of a monitoring and restoration of an ozone layer has been proposed. The literature 1. Ponomar V.V.

For period of observations the annual mean X has decreased approximately on 9,7 %, from 349 DU in a 1980 to 315 DU in 2000 with average speed of decreasing - (0.40 +/- 0.03) %/year. «Ozone.

Among the ten warmest years were all seven years of the XXI century (data prior to 2007), as well as the last three years of the last century: 1998, 2000 and in Russia, China, Western Europe and the Arctic was the warmest for the entire period are available regular meteorological observations from From table anomalies of mean annual air temperature Shows that after the war in Iraq in 2003, all 5 years was a record for the largest global warming: 2003: C, 2004: C, 2005: C, 2006: C, 2007: C Fig.6.

The greenhouse effect makes the thermosphere (with increasing T up to K at altitudes above 80 km) and the ozone layer at altitudes of 20 to 50 km, the anti-greenhouse effect makes the troposphere (temperature reduction from 290 to 210 K at altitudes of up to 15 km) and the Ozone Layer at altitudes from 50 to 80 km.
