The ozone depletion theory states that emissions of freon from air conditioners and spray cans have (1) depleted the sky's ozone layer which (2) caused more harmful ultraviolet sunlight to reach the Earth's surface which in turn (3) increased the incidence of deadly human skin cancer.
This theory is controversial, but politicians worldwide accepted it; see Montreal Protocol.
