    “Gases produced from human activities that trap solar radiation and thus contribute to climate change and the destruction of the ozone layer.”
    Perhaps if you break up this sentence to explain that some of the gasses listed are involved in trapping solar radiation and others in damaging the ozone layer which reduces the ozone layers ability to protect us from solar radiation, it would make more sense.
