Ozone Thinning

Ozone thinning is a theory postulated by John D. Lünefeller soon after the arrival of the Celeians in Abexilas. It is claimed to be the result of the eruption of chlorine geysers and the reaction of chlorine with the ozone, thus dissolving it. Despite claiming to have conducted tests and studies which prove his theory, Lünefellers results remain unreproduced and largely inaccessible to the public. There has been no tangible evidence in support of the theory so far.
The theory states that this phenomena has led to biome disparity and desertification all across the globe. Despite chlorine geysers beinng an uncommon occurence, Lünefeller claims that much of the areas affected by biome disparity are due to wind patterns, causinng biome disparity to be severe only in very rare cases.
== Process ==
After carrying out various tests, undisclosed to the public, Lünefeller and his fellow researchers claim to have observed that chlorine gas emerged into phreatic reserves via geothermal vents for an unknown reason. They further claim to have observed mounting pressure that eventually led to an eruption, sending large amounts of chlorine into the atmosphere. According to Lünefeller, the reaction between ozone and chlorine led to the dissolution of both, thinning certain parts of the ozone layer.
== Effects ==
Lünefeller postulates that the effects of this phenomenon are biome disparity and an increase in sunburn, citing a study o UV radiation and sunburn by Michael Lowes which claims to have proven the latter. Lünefeller further believes that his alleged biome disparity indirectly causes the extinction of various species and the destabilization and destruction of entire ecosystems.
