Greenhouse Effect vs Thinning Ozone Layer

Climate change is caused by oversupply of carbon dioxide. So, what greenhouse effect are they worried about? If we are inside a green house, we would have lush rainforest by now as the main purpose of a green house is to control rain, snow, and sunlight so as the plants will not wither. On the other hand the ozone layer has been slowly but surely attacked by the oversupply of carbon dioxide and other fumes. What seems obvious to laypeople is tropical forests have been decimated in the past decades that oxygen supply which comes from trees is overwhelmed by toxic fumes and gases endangering the ozone layer. The ozone layer which is made up mostly of oxygen is thinning somewhere along its arc. The porous ozone layer is incomparable to a non-porous greenhouse cover. The super extra heat being experienced now is caused by the accumulated heat mother earth has been subjected to because of the decimated tropical forests. The heat rays of the sun penetrate mother earth to her very core and when she can no longer take it, volcanoes erupt, tectonic plates move, mountains collapse, groundwater dries up, floods and droughts occur alternately and so on. Without the trees, which are the no. 1 producer of oxygen, imbalance in the ecosystem is inevitable. Let us start regreening our planet. It was green in the beginning. In the beginning, we were few and crude so it was alright to fell them trees. Now, we are a few too many but creative and inventive, we ought to get back enough rainforests we lost through our own ignorance and greed. Let's add trees into the dimension where industrial revolution is seen as the main culprit to these climatic changes we are now getting a glimpse of. Trees are the only ones eating big amounts of carbon dioxide and giving-out life giving oxygen. Mother earth will get rid of us who would keep on felling trees even when the signs are right in front of us. Then, and it's only then, trees would grow back. If we don't do anything about replenishing our forest cover now.
