Since your predicating information is false then whatever conspiracy theory you’re implying probably isn’t true.

Halocarbons are heavier than air, they cannot travel up to stratosphere which is 10 to 50 km up in the air. Which is predicating information about why CFCs were bad.

If a few companies made money from it that’s fine. It would be great if we could tie a profit motive to fixing climate change.

Exactly. Both ozone depletion theory and current climate change theory are making rich countries richer and poor countries poorer. Which brings the question: maybe it's actually the point of these theories?

The Earth's atmosphere is homogeneous up to about 100 km from the surface:

That includes the ozone layer.

Gases don't stratify in the lower atmosphere. Pure argon is heavier than oxygen and nitrogen, but it does not sink down from the atmosphere to form a concentrated surface layer. Neither do CFCs.
