It's not a thought experiment, CFC's were a real threat, the international community came together to fix it despite the costs. Mostly to the benefit of the Southern Hemisphere who barely was responsible for most of the chemical creation of these gases. We all phased out vastly superior cooling gases in airconditioners and refrigerators across the world.
Fast forward 30 years and presented with the same threat many seem keen to blame others and wipe their own hands clean.
The solutions are clear, we could all move to renewables tomorrow with little cost for most on the planet except for those who rely on fossil fuel exports to prop up theiralready advanced economies. Everyone seems intent on blaming others when it's one of the simplest problems humanity faces. China is one of the few countries trying to tackle this, the western world is hellbent on an us or them mentality right now driven by the media and it's a disturbing trend.
