We don’t hear much about the hole in the ozone layer anymore. That’s because we’ve all but fixed it, thanks to consumer choices and a massive international agreement called the Montreal Protocol. Can we learn anything from this environmental success story that will help us fix climate change?

Well.. when you see it this way, it would make sense. Converting from CFC to a completely new chemical compound also paves the way to new patent rights that allow the first company to completely take over the market atleast for some time. Its profit and either way they need to design new products to keep consumers happy. Its a WIN WIN.. so corporations pushed the government to satisfy their own needs. Fossil fuels.... thats another story.. which is why you dont see any company pushing hard to sell their products at affordable rates to consumers.

Shanna Wheeler "...massive amounts of investment..." in other words money would need to flow. Sounds like an opportunity for someone to make money. You can tell which side of the debate someone is by the language they use. "Cost the economy" and "invest in the future" are both code for "money will need to be spent". The former is negative... "cost" is money flushed away, burned, benefitting no one. The latter is a virtue, money is "saved", future generations will benefit. But they describe the same thing, everyone will be expected to pay into the project without immediate return.

I don't think that is a fair characterization of someones criticisms of additional costs of renewables being sometimes problematic. It is important to consider because it represents a new cost of a new system while also having to maintain bits of the old system while the new system gets built out. We see echos of this in Germany where they actually had to scale back renewable deployments because of rising costs and political backlash from incumbent placers (notably coal). While you are right, it is an opportunity to make money for someone, like all spending, it is an opportunity cost as well, and double spending on energy will have a cost. That is not to say we shouldn't do it, we should, just that it also helps to listen to wonks when they suggest doing A instead of B because it would save money. ect ect

@Cythil
@Cythil 6 жыл бұрын
Depends on what you mean by optimal. But the general stance is that we say it optimal now for the life that is around now, because it has adapted for the current condition's. The real problem is not even that is getting warmer. It is that is getting warmer at such a fast rate that life, and humans, are starting to have a hard time adapting. It is also why I think we should focus less on temperature and more on how we make sure we have a more stable eco system that is beneficial for all of us. But of course climate do play a large role in that. Which is why so many do focus on that aspect.
@davidmiles
@davidmiles 6 жыл бұрын
Cythil the Paris Climate Accord was theoretically attempting to prevent the global temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius over the next century over pre-industrial temperatures. Um, that's NOT rapid warming, as you suggest. As I understand it, the earth started out as a molten ball of lava, cooled down and at some point the ice age happened, and then it warmed substantially to it's current temperatures. It seems rather ignorant and arrogant to think that we're somehow able to prevent nature from changing when it's been changing since it came into existence. What you point out is that some people are not adapting to their environment, aka failing to evolve, and you think that we can somehow stop evolution. Again, absurd. Changing the focus of "climate change" to "ecological stability" is disingenuous because that's not what climate change is represented as. Redefining the terms to make it finally fit is dishonest and those opposing climate change should rightfully do so if that's how the proponents of it are doing things.
@Cythil
@Cythil 6 жыл бұрын
Yeah... But back in the days where earth was a molten ball of lava there was not much life around. Like I said. The problem is not change. It is rapid change. When you get rapid change in the environment it leads to mass extinctions. And we are already in a mass extinction even brought on by man. Evolution in general works rather slowly. Especially on long living organism. You mention that the Paris accord tries to prevent a temperature rise above 2 degree Celsius over per-industrial period. So what the accord is trying to do is make sure it does not get WORSE then 2 degrees Celsius. If we do nothing then it is estimated to get a lot worse then 2 degrees. If we would get a 5 degree Celsius temperature change in a 100 year period then would have quite dreadful consequences. Also note it is projected that climate will be effected differently in different parts of the world to. For example, In the north part of the world, where I live, it is estimated to raise even more. But temperatures will be a bit more stable at more equatorial latitudes. Really dramatic changes will mess with thing like long living trees what will not be able to adapt in such a short period. Trees can live over a century. Meaning there wont be any chance for evolution to act. And I am not trying to change the topic at all. I am telling you why climate change is a problem. It is not because it gets hot. It because when it gets hot it has effects on the environment and that has if it happens to fast negative impact on both human society and ecology. Quick change for human society means you need to update you infrastructure far faster and move people out of problem areas at a quicker rate. In the long run you would have do a lot of these thing anyway. But if you have to rebuild you road network every 10 year rather then every 100 years then it quite a strain on society (just a hypothetical example. Do not get stuck on the numbers). Not to mention you need to change out you crops at a more rapid rate. Also. You talk of evolution as it had a will of it own. Which is not really the case. It phenomena we observer. Theories and descriptive not prescriptive. And is not like we are trying to stop evolution. If anything there are bio-engineers looking on ways to "accelerate evolution" though genetic engineering to create more robust organism that can survive the rapid change. The goal here is after all not to preserve the world in some pristine state. (Well I am sure some people actually want that. But not if you more on the side of the bright green movement like me). No, the goal is to make sure we have a balanced ecological system that can keep on sustain humanity. Quite a few of us believe that humanity would be pretty screwed if there was no nature around to extract resource from. Even if you manage to build some sort of controlled artificial bio-dome for humanity to survive you would have to spend a lot of resource on just getting that working. And it is also very likely that only a small amount of people would be able to benefit from such a project. For me this is all about really preserving humanity. Making sure that humanity can grow and one day expand beyond earth. I think humanity is the more interesting thing in all of universe, at least that we know of. And I value complexity. ICID I am not sure what values you hold. But it may be that we hold very different values and that is why we do not agree on this topic.

You're being vague but I can repeat myself if I wasn't clear.The fact is changes in CFC did not change the industry in a meaningful way. The same corporations made money. Changes in the resources we use to generate energy will have significantly more confrontation as it benefits different corporations as well as countries. There are literal countries that are only economically relevant because of the resources they provide in the energy market. There are enormous corporations that are deeply invested in certain markets. Since unregulated capitalism has no intrinsic value for societies well being all parties are promoted to provide their terrible products as long as they can. They are more powerful than ever. They will manipulate the situation to provide as much profit and as little loss as possible.

Let me it explain it very simply: - CFCs could be replaced without major costs and the benefits of not using them where overwhelming and almost immediate. - Stopping climate change is very costly and honestly out of our hand right now. You all are going to tell me to use green energies... But they are extremely costly, inefficient (very low output), unreliable, and on top of that even if we started right now to spend the money we need for other things, it wouldnt even make a 1ºC difference in 2100. Massive grants go to corporations that make windmills and solar farms... Cause otherwise it wouldnt be profitable. We all pay for it through taxes. The solution you ask? Research, research technologies that are both cheap and efficient. Nuclear fusion is the first example. Improving current green technologies is another, but trying to enforce costly inefficient energy is not going to work. And countries like china which provides a quarter of the CO2 of the wolrd is not going to care either. Why dont they do they tell the truth? Why dont they invest more? Cause politically is much more attractive say "im going to put windmills everywhere and we are going to save the planet from the bad guys" than "i dont have an immediate solution but we are working on it". It always sells saying that you are the savior than telling the goddamn truth, that everything isnt so easy. If we used all the money we waste in the current green technologies in funding nuclear fusion... Oh dear, we would have it already... But is much easier to pay a ton of money to have something NOW to appease our conscience but its useless than doing the right thing.

I'll also put it simply * not addressing climate change is also very costly and the costs grow at an exponential rate by the nature of how it works * Nuclear fusion while I advocate for it is still a scientific exercise, getting useful energy, sustained reactions, addressing the neutron damage problem are all still significant hurdles to overcome and in fact it may be possible that we'll never overcome the hurdles required to make it viable as a primary source of energy. Hopefully we do, but it's still a ? at the moment with regards to making it commercially viable, personally I'm rooting for the lockheed martin skunkworks project (for mass production reasons) or general fusions design (for elegance). * Nuclear fission is still a great source of ghg free energy and there are far better designs now than the currently extant reactors that are nearly half a century old. * The cost of a lot of green energy is comparable to a lot of fossil fuel sources if used in the right venue, some cases the EROEI is even better than some fossil fuels and the costs continue to drop while the cost of fossil fuels continue to rise due to the energy required to get the same amount of fossil fuels. It use to be during peak oil the ratio would be 1:100, now we're fighting to get sources that are as low as 1:2-5 that we knew about 40 years ago, but didn't think of going after precisely because it was so inefficient. * I don't think we'll be solving our energy issues with 100% renewables any time in the near future, it would require too much energy storage and excess installations to make it reliable and we'd still need a base load power supply like nuclear, but for the foreseeable future they're going to be part of the solution. If we solve the fusion problems great, if we don't at least we didn't put all our eggs in one basket.

the climate change is not that bad as interested politicians or interested ongs put it. in fact, with what i said we could as well not do nothing at all and wait until it "solves itself". if we get fusion at the very least on 2100, it would be as it if never existed. but if we keep it like we are now until 2100 nothing bad REALLY BAD is gonna happen. also i think that either fusion will be the future or there will be no future. not cause i like or dislike it but cause there will be no serious alternative. replacing completely coal and oil for fission will be disastrous due to the waste. about the "they are the same price if use the right venue". thats not how it works man, the right venue is money. i could screw the planet right now for everybody else, make trillions, and it wouldnt cost me a bit to me or to my descendants. not taking in account human psychology is a huge flaw that i see constantly. the second counter is that wind/solar farms need materials to be crafted, and those arent "green" exactly, their extraction are very polluting. the same goes for the very needed batteries too.

CFC's have still been getting produced around the world, just not in certain countries that already agreed. There was a slowdown in the destruction and eventual uptick once the first countries joined, but China and others only recently have been actually giving in to environmental concerns.

As for nuclear waste, fast reactors can burn spent fuel rods leaving very little waste to deal with. The technology is not new and was tested in the early 1970's. Of course if low cost iron flow batteries become practical then that would certainly help out wind and solar.

There's a major difference between CFC's, which only exist as a man-made substance, and greenhouse gasses which exist in nature in quantities many, many times more than what we produce. There's also quite the difference between the depletion of the ozone layer and "climate change". The depletion of the ozone layer was one specific phenomenon, occurring over a (relatively) short timespan, that had significantly less variables and processes involved. Essentially, the only controlling factor for its depletion was chemistry. When talking about something as broad as climate change there are so many processes involved over such a long timespan that its harder to pinpoint specific causal relationships, not to mention that the climate is in a constant state of flux. Its not a simple matter of saying that atmospheric composition is the main influencer because everything from natural particle decay of elements in the earth's crust to the earth's orbit around the sun to the sun's own climate changes has influence on our climate. Everything we think we know about our contribution to climate change is researched through computer modeling. Because of how immensely complicated the subject is, these models can only take into account so many factors and otherwise has to be based off of certain assumptions. That is why there is multiple different models all with varying predictions. So, while there is merit to the argument that climate change is influenced by humanity, the jury is most certainly not out and to compare such a complex issue to a more simple one the way that this video does is simply misleading. It is a comparison of apples to a whole forest.

Looking for one of them, I did come across an interesting article that lists another souce, www.seas.harvard.edu/news/2017/08/how-future-volcanic-eruptions-will-impact-earth-s-ozone-layer Also, from geologist-1011.net/net/cfc/ "This statement is one that I keep seeing on websites and blogs, and ties in with the assertions repeated by Warrick & Farmer (1990), Grimston (1992), Hendeles et al. (2007), Colice (2007), Colice (2008), and Green & Stewart (2008, p. 18) to the effect that CFCs are not natural in the environment. If one chooses to measure the gases emerging from volcanic vents instead of taking a politician's word for it, one discovers that volcanoes produce a variety of halocarbons, including CFCs. This fact, along with other natural sources of CFCs including sponges, other marine animals, bacteria (both marine & terrestrial), fungi (both marine & terrestrial), plants (both marine & terrestrial), lichen, insects, is so well documented that it is the subject of ongoing textbook publication (Gribble, 2003; Jordan, 2003). Stoiber et al. (1971) first measured and documented CFCs venting from Santiaguito in Guatamala. Since, there have been many studies corroborating the volcanic emission of CFCs (Isidorov et al, 1990; Isidorov et al., 1993; Jordon et al., 2000; Schwandner et al., 2000; Schwandner et al., 2002; Schwandner et al., 2004; Frische et al., 2006). Although some authors attempt to correlate volcanogenic CFCs to atmospheric variations, the confirmation of soil diffusion decay with distance from the vent (Schwandner et al., 2004) still stands in stark contradiction of Frische's hypothesis. Omitted Reaction Series Elements of the typical volcanic plume chemistry such as HCl & HF in the presence of other halocarbons (such as bromomethane) and hydrocarbons, will substitute chlorine and fluorine for bromine, favouring a halocarbon light enough to remain long term in the stratosphere, while the heaviest (eg. bromine) ion returns to earth in water soluble form without the rest of the halocarbon. The hypothesis that volcanic chlorine & fluorine is removed from the atmosphere by precipitation omits the fact that lighter halogens are favoured by halocarbons while heavier halogens are favoured by water soluble acid formation. This ensures that once the bromine has done its damage, lighter halogens are then combined with non-polar chemicals that are too light to settle out, and neither sufficiently water soluble nor hydrophylic to be removed from the stratosphere by precipitation. Furthermore, the surface of the volcanic aerosol not only provides an increased surface area on which ozone can be broken down, but additionally increases the fraction of stratospheric halogen that occurs in ozone destroying forms - as observed in the substantial increase in the ozone destroying forms of chlorine by Wilson et al., (1993). The Awful Truth about Plimer, Volcanoes, and CFCs As it turns out, Plimer was dead right about the production of CFCs by volcanic processes. He may have misattributed this to the wrong source, but he was still dead right. What about Mt Pinatubo you may ask? Bureau et al. (2000) determined that the eruption of Mt Pinatubo released between 15 and 25 kilotons of Bromine, which in the form of bromocarbons as observed in other locations (eg. Schwandner et al. 2004), and in the presence of large quantities of HCL and HF, would undergo a substitution reaction to produce sufficient CFCs to have a prolonged effect. The impact of this was observed in the wake of the Pinatubo Eruption with substantial increases in ClO and in particular the substantial increase in the ozone destroying forms of chlorine as a product of Pinatubo's emissions (Wilson et al., 1993). Aiuppa et al. (2005) determined that ongoing passive emissions from Mount Pinatubo alone include 700 tons of bromine and 10 tons of iodine annually. As halocarbons, it is inevitable that these recombine with more reactive halogens found in abundant volcanogenic acids such as HCl and HF to form CFCs, HI, and HBr. Conclusion In spite of numerous erroneous academic assertions, CFCs are naturally occurring chemicals and are a significant component of active volcanism. Volcanic CFCs are emitted in the presence of compounds that raise the residence time of volcanic halogens in addition to intensifying their ozone damaging effect. This would suggest that volcanoes have had a significant impact on the ozone layer. Furthermore, when someone like Plimer appears to misquote one source, it is likely that it is the source that is misattributed and that underpinning can be found elsewhere for the assertion. It is just a matter of looking."

But, but... what about the 97% of scientists that agree that the changes we have recorded over the past 60-100 years are anthropogenic? While the models deal with large uncertainties, arguments like yours that emphasize these uncertainties stifle sorely-needed action that is already severely affecting livelihoods in the developing countries. The consensus of scientists cannot be ignored; at this point, they are not asking whether it is happening but attempting to predict the way it will play out. The actual observed trends are often exceeding what was predicted by models, which themselves are highly sophisticated works of engineering that have not, ultimately been proven wrong. In simple terms, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Changing our current fossil fuel system will be beneficial regardless of how much this system is to blame for climate change because it is definitely responsible for trillions lost in health and environmental damages. Did you know that around 5-10% of global GDP ends up as a fossil fuel subsidy? It's a bit of a scandal in my eyes.

NotYowBusiness It's not comparable. You are talking about a compound that's a byproduct in countless chemical reactions that form the base of our civilization ever since the discovery of fire. CH4 + 2 02 -> 2 H2O + CO2 As an example, for every ton of cement produced there's one ton of CO2 released into the atmosphere. You can't just turn a switch to make it stop, it's literally what makes the world go round

Vic Nightfall of course we can't stop CO2 but we can certainly stop destroying the things that keep it in check like forests and coral reefs, and decrease our own emissions to slow the rate of climate change by moving away from fossil fuels and finding alternatives to the "thing that makes the world go round"

The hole in the ozone layer is only above Mauritius. It has something to do with a chemical combustion with photons and CFK-gas that hit the stratosphere under a certain angle. But the hole in the ozone layer is constantly filled in.

MrGustave1er because cfcs were relatively new and alternatives were close to Discovery and cheap to make. While gas is the most Energy dense fuel available and untill mixed with oxigen is also very safe, instead of lithium batteries that have a 10th the Energy capacity per unit of mass and the safety of a small bomb if you so much as breach the Hull.
