“Whatever happened with the ozone layer panic, if scientists are so smart?”
We listened to the scientists, and the problem went away.
Didn't go away, just stopped getting worse at an alarming rate.
Didn't the hole above Australia close again?
As a kiwi, the amount of sunburn I get every summer would imply it hasn't.
Yeah but I'm pretty sure that's just cause the sun is upside down over there or something.
I thought it was Australia that's upside down, and New Zealand doesn't actually exist?
No, also the massive SO2 that Mt Pinatubo put into the atmosphere slowly went away. And the CFCs.
Pinatubo created more sulfur emissions during its eruption than 10 years of all human coal burning.
And also on top of that we were also wrecking the Ozone.
Nature can always make our mistakes much much worse.
It's the same as people using the example of the Y2K bug being a non event. Yeah, because globally trillions of dollars were spent fixing it before it became an event.
thanks for the tldr
