30 year ago, ozone was supposed to disappear and creating a big hole in the atmosphere. Changing narratives to keep population in fear, is the new science.

Yes, because percieved negative effects can be a secondary product of other better known damage, or be more important than what is expected.

30 year ago, ozone was supposed to disappear and creating a big hole in the atmosphere. Changing narratives to keep population in fear, is the new science.

The ozone layer problem was described precisely and the negative effects on the planet confirmed without any realistic possibility of being wrong, since (fortunately) oil companies profits were not at risk of actions to correct the problem it was possible to enact effective measures, thanks to that the problem was mitigated very importantly.

There is no "changing narratives" here, just that you were not able to understand the difference between ozone in a protective layer in the upper atmosphere and having it as a contaminant in cities so people are in constant exposure to it.

Or as the written in the beginning of the article

While a layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere helps block harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching Earth, at ground level it is a major component of the smog polluting most big cities.

The holes in the Ozone were probably caused by humans blasting rockets through it and ripping big holes as they peirced thorough it and burned of all the fuel that rockets need to get out of earths gravitational pull.

Changing narratives to keep population in fear

Cancer doesn't care about narratives. But I do care about fresh air.
