Climate Change and the Ozone Layer: Lessons from Montreal
You may remember not so long ago the hole in the ozone layer was the major scientific apocalypse story out there in the world.

In this episode, I'll talk about the story of the ozone hole and what - if anything - it can teach us about our own efforts to combat greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
