Oh, boy. There was a huge number of loud people complaining about that.
And worst thing is that most of them only knew about the CFCs being replaced years after it stopped being in sprays.
- anigbrowl 2mo agoMy memory was that once satellite imagery of the ozone hole became available and it suddenly became something you could actually plot on a map the serious debate suddenly ended and complaining about 'they took our CFCs' became a kook issue. But looking up old media coverage, I see that dissatisfaction entrepreneurs like Rush Limbaugh aggressively milked the issue and then recycled successful tropes in other contexts.
