    We really did good when we replaced and reworked the CFC gases everywhere we could, and with strong incentives (legal and monetary). And now that some solutions are technically in reach, but only need to be deployed at scale + stopping the ancient. The LAST people to be followed should be the oil industry
    (I'm glossing over some hard industries reliant on oil, but on the energy front, nuclear, wind, solar could replace most of the 80% of oil to be burned)

Pie chart showing that 83% of oil extracted and refined is used to be burned as 
Gasoline 45%
Diesel 25%
Kerosene 9%
Liquid gaz 4%
The remaining categories are varying others :
Other products 13%
Other distillates and heating oil 2%
Other residual fuel 2%
