You propose that CFC's are harmful to the atmosphere, and I would tend to agree with that. The thing that I do not agree with is the now accepted belief that co2 (human caused carbon emissions) have been proven to cause climate change, which I think that you also stated you don't agree with.This debate seems talking about 2 different things. Anyway, here's my take. I became skeptical about Al Gore's brand of global warming when he refused to debate anyone on the subject because he said the debate is over, and he still has not to this date. Debates should never be over, especially before they begin. That proves how closed minded HE is.(Plus he will have a major stake in carbon offset transfers) As for CFC's, I'm no expert on the subject, but I believe the U.S. banned the use of them as propellants quite some time ago, which was the main cause of their introduction into the atmosphere, and that seems cool.

There are two different debates going on here- ozone depletion and global warming

Al Gore's "Brand" is taking charts from top scientists and flapping his yapper about them. The things he presents though are affecting the globe and it is our fault.

CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons were banned in the US not to long ago. The problem is not the fact they are still being used but the molecule Chlorine that is within that disrupts the formation of ozone or O3. These molecules have been scientifically proven to stay within the atmosphere for more than a century. Oxygen will bond with the chlorine many times over instead of bonding with two other oxygen to create ozone
