It was amazing. Scientists said, this is bad and this is what's causing it. Governments went, well let's ban cfcs and hfcs. Manufacturers went, ok we'll just move to an alternative. And that was it.

No push back. No party politics. No anti-zoners. Nothing. It was just done.

The only other thing in my living memory that went as well as that was Y2k. But that was driven by corporate self-preservation

Ikr. I had some idiot on reddit try and tell me that Eddie Murphy got cancelled. Dude was Hollywood royalty for 30 years and has taken a step back from working recently after a couple of flops. Apparently if you don't like a person and they haven't done much lately then they were cancelled. *pats self on back
