Science, Policy, and Ozone
With the ongoing controversy over global climate change, it's interesting to look back at a big scientific controversy from the 80s and 90s, CFCs and the ozone layer. The CFC industry fought change for 20 years, but it turned out to be a) a worse problem than even the "doomsayers" anticipated and b) less costly to fix than even the best estimates. A very complete overview of how science, business, and politics collide.
