This is why you don’t hear about the hole in the ozone layer anymore — and here’s the lesson for us today
Story by Ben Stern • Friday

When’s the last time you heard about the ozone layer? Or about the hole in the ozone layer? For most people, it’s been years or even decades since the topic has crossed their minds.
 
And there’s a good reason for that — it’s because human cooperation and swift policy change were extremely effective in fixing the problem.
 
The ozone is an invisible layer of gas in our atmosphere that protects us from damaging, cancer-causing radiation given off by the sun, basically acting as the Earth’s sunscreen. Without it, life on Earth would be extremely vulnerable. So in the 1980s, when it was discovered that a hole was forming in the ozone layer, it was a big deal.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Not just that but REASONABLE policy change, not some multibillion-dollar project like EVs being required to drive.
