And Marlin, I think the hole in the ozone layer has shrunk due to recent efforts. Maybe I'm an optimist.
Let's take a run at that fiasco, shall we:

The eruption of Mt. St. Helens belched a huge amount of ozone depleting gases into the upper atmosphere. The elimination of R-12 led to its replacement with a vastly more toxic refrigerant, at a cost of BILLIONS to consumers. Ice cores seem to indicate that cyclical thinning of the Antarctic ozone layer has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years. So, did we do any good?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for being a good steward of this planet, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that exchanging one flawed technology for another is really benefiting anyone other than those selling the technology....
