In 1998 we were told by 2025 that most people would be wearing some sort of ozone filtering respirator and large chucks of Florida would be permanently submerged.

Wow, turns out we don’t have to do this because politicians actually decided to do something about it! Who could’ve known???

The ozone layer stuff was a legitimate concern but it was relatively easy to solve since it was proven what damaged it

The ozone thing was a lack of ozone in the atmosphere. Not so much that you would need a respirator to prevent inhaling it. The commenter above seems to have mixed up conspiracy theorists with reasonable people.
