deniers often point at "the ozone hole" and pretend that it was somehow an overblown problem. in fact, we truly dodged a bullet. it's too bad that people don't realize that science saved the planet.

@andrewdessler Beyond those deniers, objectively, the move from CFC to HCFC and then to HFC can't even remotely be compared with the phasing out of coal, petrol, and gas.
@andrewdessler Fair enough. People like me (and you) who are conscious of the climate issue and also point out the difficulty do so in order to set priorities and delineate where our efforts should go, not to argue that it is impossible. The debate is then about what's the best path forwards, not about whether it is possible in the first place.
@ljbo Here’s the way I think about it. Certainly, the transition to renewable energy is a bigger problem, and I don’t think anyone really knows how hard it will be. But many of the people who are saying it’s going to be too hard are making that argument not based on any actual analysis, but because they are pursuing a policy objective, exactly the same way that people who said solving ozone depletion is too hard.
