Talk to someone in the air conditioning business

I think it just proves, that if the ozone hole is doing better, after only a very tiny portion of the world agreeing to the freon ban, especially the country with the least number of leaking units, that it's purely speculation to assume that there's any correlation.

Yes, I agree that serious thought needs to go into theories such as that one and that there may well be validity in it but I worry that jumping to bans only gives the pro-business/anti-environmentalist groups ammo to attack the science.

Plus, my auto air conditioning compressor is starting to make noise. A few years ago, I could go purchase one and a receiver/dryer for around $100 bucks, have the system evacuated cheaply and refill it myself. That job could easily cost $500 to $1000 today.
