Ozone holes aren't caused by "Freon in the world", they're caused by Freon (CFCs if you're
trademark-averse) in the atmosphere.


So Freon is a CFC. Oops. I checked and you're right. That makes my
answer to Terry, whicch included an answer to gfretwell, pretty
stupid.

China / India / whoever go berserk making new A/C's, the Freon stays inside them, everything's fine.
*Until* it gets let out... by the A/C developing a leak or intentional release. Then the fun
starts... 10, 15, 20 years from now.
