In the 80s scientists definitively proved that cloroflorocarbons (CFCs) damage the ozone layer of our atmosphere, allowing more solar radiation to reach the surface. CFCs were used in refrigeration, aerosol cans (hairspray, etc), and air conditioning. The whole is over the northern polar region (AFAIK, the only area losing ice).
As a result, most of the world outlawed CFCs. Alternatives were already available, so there was minimal market disruption.
Last year a study was released that proved that China is still producing a ton of CFCs, and has been making the hole a lot bigger.

Climate change is definitely fake.
However, the hole on the ozone is very real.

Yup, this is probably our biggest climate threat. We should be going to war with China over this.
