Not a particular technology, but I really had a little bit of hope that we’d be able to tackle climate change like we tackled ozone depletion due to CFCs/HCFCs/HFCs with the Montreal Protocol.

Yes what the fuck happened? As a planet, we came together to end CFCs but now everyone just shrugs and says, "nah"

One problem is a bit easier then the other. No one's economy is entirely based around CFCs and CFCs have excellent alternatives.
