    TBH “The whole world agreed on something” narrative doesn’t really reflect what happened.

    Actually, The Industry dropped using CFC after a cheaper and luckily safer alternative has been discovered right around that time.

      There was a necessary round of nearly all governments on Earth agreeing to fine and extinguish business or even throwing executives on jail if they insisted on using the more expensive alternative.

      Only after that people stopped using CFCs.

      Honestly, some times I wonder if we live in an episode of Captain Planet. Some people look like plain childish cartoon villains.
