Sssshhhhhh ! No one was supposed to know about that. Everyone is supposed to believe the "Ozone depleting" "Global warming" mumbo jumbo.
Did you know that just one (1) volcano in the East Africa, say the Nyiragongo volcano, emits some 50,000 tons of green house gases per day . . . more than all the power plants, automobiles, home fireplaces and all other man-made sources in the entire United States combined! And there are hundreds of active volcanos world wide.
Also note: During the past year, green house gas emissions in the United States was reduced by about 1.5% largely attributed to a mild winter allowing for less burning of home heating fuels. So Global Warming allows for milder winters, which in turn reduces our dependancy on burning fossil fuels, reducing green house gas emissions. GO FIGURE!
Have fun!

The U.S. only banned the production of CFC's in 1996, not their use. They also applied a high tax on the sales of the products.
It is not illegal to use them in the U.S., and there is a big black market for them here. They are still produced in Russia, China, India, and Eastern Europe.

Freon was invented in 1928 ... Wouldn't a patent expire 25 years later????

U got it exactly right . CFC are too heavy to affect the ozone layer.

That very likely had something to do with it.
