I have not researched the hole in the ozone layer much, but it is my understanding that the banning of the principal alleged culprits has already occurred.... The focus of anxiety of opponents of the global warming bandwagon is the Kyoto treaty, which mandates such stringent controls on green house gases and fossil fuel consumption that there have been credible estimates that the developing world will be plunged into Depression, with, of course, the poor hit hardest. Although there are various exemptions for some of the less developed countries, there are potentially serious effects for countries that are intermediate, such as Brazil and Argentina, that can ill afford massive industrial belt tightening. Further, the primary markets for Third World production are actually in the more developed countries, and therefore it is likely that industrial development, partly stimulated by the rush to relocate in countries with more latitude to pollute, would ultimately stall, as the economies of North America and Western Europe languished..... Fortunately, such extreme measures have been held up, mainly due to the Republican Congress, in this country.
