“Whatever happened with the ozone layer panic, if scientists are so smart?”

We listened to the scientists, and the problem went away.

Didn't go away, just stopped getting worse at an alarming rate.

Didn't the hole above Australia close again?

As a kiwi, the amount of sunburn I get every summer would imply it hasn't.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure that's just cause the sun is upside down over there or something.

No, also the massive SO2 that Mt Pinatubo put into the atmosphere slowly went away. And the CFCs.

Pinatubo created more sulfur emissions during its eruption than 10 years of all human coal burning.

And also on top of that we were also wrecking the Ozone.

Nature can always make our mistakes much much worse.
