<human>: How does the ozone hole affect the climate?
<bot>: The ozone hole has a significant effect on global climate. It causes a decrease in stratospheric ozone, which leads to an increase in UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface. This increased UV radiation can cause damage to plants and animals that live near the surface of the Earth. Additionally, decreased ozone levels also lead to more intense storms, as well as higher temperatures at the Earth’s surface.
