> "banning of CFCs"

CFCs were banned because they were destroying the ozone layer, and the ozone layer protects us from excessive UV-radiation (which causes skin cancer). This was not related to global warming.

Correct, sorry. I had forgotten that, although they are potent greenhouse gasses, that was not the reason they were originally banned.

Still a valid point in the "don't be rash" sense", but not in the "don't be rash regarding global warming" sense.
