Part One will give some relevant scientific background to the phenomenon of atmospheric ozone depletion. Although atmospheric ozone depletion, "the greenhouse effect" (the incremental net warming of Earth's atmosphere), and acid rain are interrelated environmental problems, a full treatment of each subject matter would go well beyond the limitations of this paper. Part Two will attempt to give a summary introduction to domestic measures undertaken to combat the problem in the United States. Part Three will attempt to accomplish the same in the area of international law and will also attempt to demonstrate why the problem of atmospheric ozone depletion must be understood in the context of Third World development. With the collapse of the "second" world, which includes the nations of the former Soviet bloc and behind the old Iron Curtain, it is quite uncertain whether this nomenclature still applies.
