The hole in the ozone layer is on track to be completely gone by 2066 thanks to the Montreal Protocol.
It’s the example of an international natural preservation effort that resulted in positive changes and where international cooperation just… worked. If we could apply the same successes humanity had with this to the problem of climate change instead of everyone going “but we should not be required to reduce emissions until THEY points reduce emissions!” we would be in a much better position regarding our civilisations future.
Any time someone tells you how such international efforts never work… point them to the shrinking hole in the ozone layer.
Capitalism: How much would it cost to fix this?
Science: A little effort now, and barely an inconvenience after year 3. If businesses made a mild effort it could cost big businesses roughly 5 million this year, 3 million next year, subsidized by taxpayer money, and after that you’d start seeing new avenues of revenu…
Capitalism: That’s too expensive. Instead let’s spend about 50 million dollars lobbying lawmakers to vote against this then spend another 175 million on propaganda stating it’s all a liberal lie.
Science: So you’d rather spend close to a quarter of a billion dollars now to ignore a problem that could be solved for less than 10 over 2 years?
The real question is who was the past nastifier?
