Yes you are right. It is good news and hopefully we will have more good news and more action on things we are not solving very well.

Yes you are right. I also remember this and some people take the fact that we aren’t talking about it anymore as evidence that it was never an issue. For example, that was true for some of my former collegues. President Reagan was all for action on ozone depleting gases and went along with the rest of the world. It saved many millions of lives. I can add that the next President George Bush (the elder) was all for action on global warming as well. However, that was derailed in the 1990’s.

There was a hole in the ozone over Cape Town. It’s a good think the USA had a government that supported the initiatives for change back then or we would be in a real mess right now.

Yes there are many environmental good news stories, and this is a big one people don’t know about or deny. There are of course many environmental news stories that are not good news. But we need to hear both. We should not despair.

Thank you so much Debbie. Yes that is a lot of cancer deaths that did not happen. The Montreal protocol has made a huge difference. Yet there are so many people who deny the reality of ozone depleting cases. A certain POTUS is an example.

And the cancer statistic is especially encouraging. I didn’t know cataracts were a related problem. Apparently, I am developing those and will eventually need surgery to remove them.
