Hi all, I am currently working with an undergrad on his senior thesis, part of which looks at actual risks, risk perceptions and science policy interactions around impacts of ozone layer depletion prior to national regulations in the US and international negotiations. I am of course getting him to read Parson's Protecting the Ozone Layer. But does anyone have any contemporary (to the 70s/80s) or historical accounts of that time?
I was kind of suprised to learn that if we'd not done anything about CFC use, we wouldn't have had to worry about GHG emissions very much as the earth would have been fried in about 50 years from now. Given that that issue is now relatively settled, we don't often think back. See http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/world_avoided.html Anyway, any and all suggestions welcome, and I will compile and send to the list. (and I'm about to do the population video list, a request I sent out months ago :) best, Kate UC Berkeley
