"Ozone" layer was a win.

We found a problem, reported it, people believed the scientist, and we identified and adapted to solve the problem. We fixed it.

Same with 'Acid Rain'.

We don't hear about it. Because we identified a problem, believed the science, and fixed it.

I'm continually dumfounded that we used to be able to adapt and fix things, but suddenly with "CO2", this one molecule that we've know was a green house gas for a 100 years now. Suddenly this is the thing people don't want to believe.
