No, Global Climate Change has very little to do with the Depletion of the Ozone Layer.
Recent global climate change or global warming is now considered by most climate scientists to be the likely result of increases in man-made greenhouse gas concentrations such as carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. These gases absorb strongly in the Infra red part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This has the effect of trapping heat and raising the temperature of the lower atmosphere.
The depletion of the ozone (O3) layer or 'ozone hole' occurs mainly in the stratosphere, and is due to the catalytic destruction by atomic chlorine and bromine. The main source of these is from the photodissociation of man made chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) compounds.
These effects are usually regarded as distinct phenomena. However there are a number of areas of linkage between ozone depletion and recent global warming.
Ozone is also created at the surface due to photochemical reactions between various man made pollutants, this adds to the greenhouse warming but is nothing to do with the ozone depletion in the stratosphere.

The ozone layer and global warming are two separate issues. The ozone layer is a protective layer in the Earth's atmosphere that shields us from harmful UV radiation, while global warming is the gradual increase in Earth's temperature due to human activities releasing greenhouse gases. Depletion of the ozone layer can affect climate but does not directly cause global warming.
Very little. The ozone layer has a very minor effect on long term surface temperature, more to do with day night temperature swings. Sorry, I have to improve this answer. Some people may confuse the ozone with global warming, but they are two entirely separate issues. However, there is a connection between the two, I've found that the ozone contributes to the greenhouse effect, which produces greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases help global warming in the gradual increase of the lower atmosphere's temperature global warming is a gradual increase in the temperature of earth's lower atmosphere as result of the increase in greenhouse gases. The relation is the ozone contributes greenhouse gases to further global warming.
The ozone layer when depletes causes UV rays to enter which falls on planktons in the sea. It destroys those planktons which reduce global warming thus increasing the global warming in the environment.
Ozone when depleted allows the UV rays to enter the earth which kills the planktons responsible for reduction of global warming. Thus leading to global warming.
Ozone is a greenhouse gas. So it allows some energetic light in, but blocks some of the far infrared that hot surfaces can emit to cool down.
Yes it does. Ozone depletion causes global warming, which increases the temperature on earth.
The ozone layer affects global warming. It kills the planktons which avoid global warming.
Neither. Global warming has nothing to do with the hole in the ozone layer. The hole in the ozone layer has nothing to do with global warming.
Global warming does not directly cause the hole in the ozone layer. The hole in the ozone layer is primarily caused by human-produced chemicals known as ozone-depleting substances (such as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs). While global warming and ozone depletion are related environmental issues, they have distinct causes and impacts.
Global warming is related to ozone depletion. It is also true for the reverse.
Yes, it does. Global warming and ozone depletion are connected with each other.
Global warming does not directly impact the ozone layer. However, it can indirectly affect it by changing atmospheric conditions that influence ozone depletion. The main concern for the ozone layer is ozone depletion caused by human-made chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are not related to global warming.
