Size of the stratosphere

The stratosphere is heated by the sun’s ultraviolet rays from above, causing some of the oxygen molecules to break down, creating the ozone layer that prevents harmful radiation from reaching the Earth. What happens when this protective layer becomes thinner by shrinking due to greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide and methane)? Extreme weather is expected, from persistent intense rainfall to summer droughts or intense cold winter weather. The sky will fall indeed if we continue like this.
