ShareCFC issue: social-political dimensions.
Author(s) : RAMAKRISHNAN K. R.
Type of article: Article, Review
Summary
The author points out that all current procedures for reducing ozone depletion stemming from the Montreal Protocol are largely self-defeating. The protocol does not require a socio-political change -only a change in technology. The result will be that the CFC usage still allowed, plus the mainly unknown effects on global warming and other pollution problems of CFC substitutes will merely postpone ozone destruction, not begin its renewal. Only by a complete change in the aims and understanding of societies, and stringent legislation by far-seeing governments will save the world from a disaster which the present ethic of material acquisition prefers to ignore.
