Remember when everyone was so scared of polio and then all of the sudden we stopped talking about it?πŸ€”

I've always hated this comparison because the two problems are just not the same, at all. CFCs were nowhere near as ubiquitous as fossil hydrocarbons, and CFCs had an essentially drop-in replacement, which fossil fuels do not. There's no non-hydrocarbon fuel that we can just replace for coal, natural gas, gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, etc. None that I'm aware of, anyway.

Shame we haven't had an entire century to deal with the problem.

At least we're taking it seriously, and all agree that it's real.
