It's a problem. The same problem comes up every time that someone has "the answer".
Now they want to legislate the use of CFCs. They shouldn't legislate the how. They should legislate for a desired result.
Same thing with the city and woodstoves/fireplaces. They want to ban new ones and are thinking of banning them outright. They should be setting a maximum level of pollution coming out of the chimneys. The Finns use contraflow woodstoves for heating and those are virtually pollution free. I don't know if it is still true, but at one time you couldn't get a government mortgage-guarantee on a new house if you didn't have one.
