<title>Ozone — David Larlet</title>
<meta name="description" content="In the annals of environmental history, humanity’s response to the ozone crisis stands out as a rare success story. During the 1970s and ‘80s, evidence started to mount that certain household chemicals used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and aerosol cans like hairspray were eating a giant hole in Earth’s ozone layer, which prevents harmful ultraviolet radiation from reaching the surface. Facing the terrifying prospect of a future without any atmospheric sunscreen at all, in the late 1980s nations came together to sign the Montreal Protocol, a global treaty to phase out so-called ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons.">

<p>In the annals of environmental history, <mark>humanity’s response to the ozone crisis stands out as a rare success story.</mark> During the 1970s and ‘80s, evidence started to mount that certain household chemicals used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and aerosol cans like hairspray were eating a giant hole in Earth’s ozone layer, which prevents harmful ultraviolet radiation from reaching the surface.

<p>Since then, the ozone hole has been slowly healing. According to the U.N., it’s now on track to recover fully by mid-century.</p>
<p>But if things hadn’t turned out that way—if the scientific evidence linking man-made chemicals to ozone depletion wasn’t strong enough, or if ozone deniers (yes, there were ozone deniers) successfully stymied the Montreal Protocol—the world might look very different.</p>

<p>En ces temps un peu désespérants, il est utile de se rappeler qu’une action collective a été possible il n’y a pas si longtemps. Et qu’elle a eu des conséquences réparatrices relativement rapides.</p>
<p>Bien plus facile à «&nbsp;résoudre&nbsp;» techniquement mais ces menaces auto-infligées mondiales sont rarement contraintes par la technique. Qu’est-ce qui a changé dans nos sociétés pour que l’on ne soit plus à même de répondre en commun quelques décennies plus tard&#8239;?</p>

<p>Avec l’adresse cumulée de plusieurs siècles d’existence, il jetait sur son environnement un regard filtré par une sophistication naïve. Les mentats cultivaient la naïveté.
