Climate change is a global problem but will never be solved by politicians as politics is never the solution to wicked problems. Solutions can only be established sustainably through decentralized technological progress. Solutions that are based on the political climate are never the way to go. As priorities can change rapidly. There are no experts in what last chance means. This is a political claim not a scientific on.

"solved" is an overstatement, especially given recent discoveries of increasing CFC manufacture in China.

CFCs wasnt a wicked problem. There were alternatives for the market and it had no cost to the consumer or society.

Getting rid of CFCs is orders of magnitude less painful than fossil fuels, concrete, and habitat destruction.
