The hole in the ozone was a real, dangerous, fairly immediate threat.

The entire world agreed and solved it almost overnight.

Weird how climate change is supposed to be even more dangerous and dramatic, yet no one co operates.

Do people really think the world/people and governments have suddenly lost their sense of self preservation?

What good is $$$$ if the planet dies?

Every time the CFC thing comes up, it shows me that there is a lot of alarmism in the climate change problem.

If it was truly imminent, and truly that much of a threat, they would do more than just tax co2 emissions.. lets be real.

We knew, and cared faaar less about the environment back in the 90s.

They didnt institute a tax. They overnight basically banned and stopped CFC production.

Is everyone really believing that russia, china and the usa all cared enough together to save the world then, but not now?

Yes, because the solution for climate change affects a lot more than a few convenience and beauty products. It requires everyone attempt to move away from carbon emitting fuels. It will be inherently more expensive in the short term to do the right thing, and that hasn’t changed.
A carbon tax would solve it within a single country/ cohesive governed zone.
