No, no I don't. Nobody is taking it seriously. They certainly fixed the ozone issue a few years ago. Time to turn the heat up on this issue too

  Well they stopped emitting CFCs and the ozone hole finally started to trend smaller twenty years later[1]. Presuming China doesn't go overboard with the illegal production that's been discovered, ozone should be back to pre 1980 levels by about 2075 or so. The fix needs a century to work. I think it neatly encapsulates the problem. Climate is big. Changes have huge hysteresis. The only real fix is emissions (lack of). What we've already emitted will be causing change for centuries. Any climate engineering is likely to be hilariously easy to over or under-shoot except carbon capture and storage. CCS is almost certainly going to be necessary as we likely need negative emissions now. At least CO2's role in the climate is becoming very well understood, and we know exactly how to fix an overshoot.
