And do you know what prevented further ozone layer catastrophe?
When leaders around the world got together and, without input from the people, voted to ban CFCs because the science was clear that CFC pollution was the problem.
Government regulation works. It solves environmental problems like ozone layer depletion. What COVID showed us is that individual freedom is an illusion we choose to believe in when times are good and energy is cheap. There are no libertarians in a crisis. If we want to solve the climate crisis -- really solve it, not pretend to try to solve it while supporting the status quo -- governments are going to have to impose drastic restrictions the public will not like.
