For those who dont want to do a quick search:::
The treaty[Notes 1] is structured around several groups of halogenated hydrocarbons that deplete stratospheric ozone. All of the ozone depleting substances controlled by the Montreal Protocol contain either chlorine or bromine (substances containing only fluorine do not harm the ozone layer).

So "only" 5M Americans said they would personally be Very or Completely Willing to kill someone to advance their political objectives in the next few years.
15M said political violence would be justified to restore Chump Bear to the presidency THIS YEAR!!
This why MY friends plan to be abroad by Fall '24. Hope you've got plenty of space @freemo ;)

@freemo It was such an unexpected development. The CFCs were amazing in terms of stability, safety and utility. Finally something that isn't going to go boom, not cause severe reactions and be an excellent solvent among other things.
Turns out that UV Radiation made it eat away at the layer in a remarkable way. That's the story I remember. I don't know how much UV radiation that altitude would typically see but the conversion of Oxygen to Ozone requires a fair amount of energy.
Todays dive was amazing (videos and photos coming soon). There were atleast a dozen sharks of 3 different species, all within a meter or two, asea turtle, and best of all THREE seperate cuttle fish. One if the cuttle fish was about a meter away and let me video tape him for a good 10 minutes. There was also a stone fish which are clearly the uggliest fish in the sea. One of my best dives ive ever done I think.

Hopped off the boat and decided to swim to a small uninhabited island. Was quite fun. Sadly they wouldnt let me swim back.

The Roe opinion was a total mess. Privacy? Thatโs just absurd. It should have been based purely on the liberty clause of the 14th Amendment without reference to privacy. Casey wasnโt much better. The overarching problem is Congress shirks its responsibility so they donโt have to face voter backlash and they just push everything onto the Court, which is unaccountable to the voters. Then SCOTUS ends up twisting and tweaking itself into a corner trying to legislate.
Also, as you have noted elsewhere, we a need a clear definition as to personhood, which would resolve the issue definitively.
Well, now the ballโs in Congressโ court (pun intended) so letโs see if they have the balls (pun intended) to fix it.
