That's just not true, CFC levels plummeted in the from the late 80s and onward.

India and China don't account for even a fraction of the peak in the 80s when the issue was discovered and banned.

They even noticed a spike a year or two ago and traced it down to the source.

China peaked in 1998 at 50 ODP Tonnes of CFCs, but almost zeroed out by 2008. the world wide peak was ~1000 ODP Tonnes in 1986.
