What this counts, and what it does not. This is
the number of times the spellings
ozone layer, ozone
appear in the
text of General Debate statements, matched on word boundaries and ignoring
case. It is a fact about a word. It is not a measure of how much any
state cared about the subject, what position it took, or whether it meant it
— and nothing on this page should be read that way.
