Unfortunately, the other effect is, of course, to our disabled persons who are albinos because they do not have the pigment that is supposed to control the rays. The problem we have in Africa and all over the world is with two gases - chlorine and bromine. The atoms of those gases are so dangerous to molecules of the ozone layer that one chlorine atom destroys over 10,000 molecules of the ozone layer. If you continue releasing those gases into the atmosphere, the effect is that the ozone layer is destroyed or affected negatively. As a result, the sun starts taking its toll on the earth. What are the effects of destroying the ozone layer? Why do we insist that we should not deplete the ozone layer? If we do so, we will have problems on mother earth. One, there will be a rise in temperatures. Temperatures directly from the sun to the earth would be scorching. There would be no life if that ozone layer was not there. The other problem is lack of rains. In places where we have ice, the glaciers will melt and marine life will die. Our crops will not perform well. Even our life expectation will go down. What are we called upon to do when it comes to protecting the ozone layer? We have to ensure that those toxic gases emitted into the atmosphere are controlled. It is known the world over that, one producer of those toxic gases are actually the green houses. Those are the houses where we grow our lovely flowers especially in Africa, because we have to control temperatures and gases in there. At the end of the day, we have to release those gases into the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
