One of our last great climate victories.

Modern Republicans would never have agreed with the Montreal Protocol if such an agreement was needed now.

You'd have millions of people convinced that it's a conspiracy. We would start hearing reports of Floridians defiantly huffing CFCs.

It would not matter one bit. We have seen time and time again that people will simply ignore things that are right in front of them.

If the hole was over north america rural kentuckians would be sun bathing every afternoon to prove it was a hoax, and when they developed skin cancer they would blame it on democrats
