Mystery CFC users identified

quote [ A banned chemical used to make household insulation is implicated in damage to the ozone layer. ]

Tl;Dr: for a few years now scientists have strongly suspected someone in East Asia has been manufacturing CFC-11, which had been globally banned since 2010. Turns out it's Chinese insulation manufacturers, they know it's illegal, and they don't give a shit.

"The pervasiveness of the use of CFC-11 that seems apparent in China based on their survey is quite amazing, although it is hard for me to assess the accuracy of the emission estimate they make to know if it is indeed likely that this activity can explain all or most of what we are observing in the global atmosphere."

Brevity, soul, whit, something something.
