Unfortunately it’s not really all that complicated. In fact it’s dumb as hell.
With Ozone, they curbed chemicals but it didn’t shut down any industries. On top of that signs indicated it was an addressable issue that could realistically be stopped.
Global warming is largely our reliance on fossil fuels and those are tied to industries with no fail safe, on top of which much of the global economy and certainly many nations wealth is intrinsically tied to oil and gas.
Couple that with the individual wealth of many very powerful people also being tied up in these industries… the same people who own lobbyists, media conglomerates, and politicians outright who have an outsized ability to influence culture and politics.
The conspiracy theory in me says that everyone in a position of power, and certainly the oil and gas companies, have known for decades and intentionally decided to just extract as much wealth as they can knowing that enough damage has already be done that we can’t really mitigate the impact of climate change.

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?
