    nothing pisses me off more than the Ozone hole crisis.

    Within a handful of years, the problem was found, studied, policies drafted, and problem solved with international cooperation.

    but this similar problem somehow cannot be solved?

      We solved it too well. I was arguing about climate change with someone and they used the fact we don’t hear about the hole anymore as proof that climate change is bs and is blown outta proportion.

      The same with the forest dieback. A real problem that was relatively quickly solved and now people are like: “What about the forest dieback? Everyone talked about but nothing ever happened…”

      Yeah, because we fixed it before it got really bad.
