Well it was useful because it gave black’s the rights to drive on Sunday afternoons. As you know before they could only drive on weekdays

We don’t know. There are tons of reports on the ozone hole. It may be recovering but if it isn’t it’s because the CFCs are persistent and it will simply take a little time. Like 20 more years. Have a look at this statement from the World Meteorological Organization:
“Thanks to this international agreement (Montreal Protocol), the ozone layer outside the polar regions is projected to recover to its pre1980 levels around 2030-2040 according to the WMO/UNEP Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion (see link below).” http://www.wmo.int/pages/mediacentre/press_releases/pr_912_en.html
Note the use of the word “projected”. That means they “think” it will be useful and we won’t know for 20-30 years. If that makes you feel comfy, then God bless.

Montreal protocol helped to understand the problem related to ozone hole so it was useful and another one similar for other environmental issues should also be organized..

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (a protocol to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer) is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances believed to be responsible for ozone depletion.

Politically, yes. Scientifically no.
We were promised that if we gave up our R-12 the hole in the Ozone would go away. Guess what? We have given away our R-12 twenty years ago and the hole went away and all the greenies said what a good job we have done. Now there is an even bigger hole in another location and they are trying to make us go another twenty years to prove their theory.
So the Montreal fiasco has proven nothing and now you jokers are asking for another boondoggle. What are you going to strip us of next?
It is time for you con artists to actually prove something. We have given you enough time and money and let you take away enough of our liberties. And all this without any proof or positive results.
