The only issue with that simplistic list is that because we did take action, the ozone layer actually healed. It would have been gone had we done nothing.
I do miss the R12, though. No other refrigerant worked as well or got things as cold.

So - some of those things didn't happen because something was done about it.

Oil being gone - that was a laugher from the word go. That was coming purely from non-science, non-tech people. We could start making new oil if somehow all of the lawyers and politicians were buried for a few years.

Frankly, with our drought and heat waves, we could use another good ice age. I'm all for it.

I remember in the early 1980's, it was all the reported news that Japan was going to eventually own everything in the USA and would all be serfs working for a Japanese owned company.

Now it is the Chinese.

I would walk up and hand her a Coke and a double cheeseburger. Or 5.
After a couple of kids you'll be wishing you never fed the Dependapotomus
