I mean, it didn't happen due to all the hard work put in to fix the issue.

Kind of like how people are like, what ever happened to the hole in the ozone layer? The chemicals causing it were banned. I don't think the concerns about what could have happened should be ignored, as what if no one put in the work, like they had? You know, kind of like climate change?
