I know where you are coming from but as Joeth said the ozone layer, acid rain and rainforests are still problems.
as I see it, they are linked directly to climate change - i.e. symptoms of the actions and emissions (pollution) directly caused by how we produce and consume products (and services). In simple terms, a move to "low carbon" design (production & consumption) also leads to lower emissions elsewhere.
The issue about how do you build up enough momentum so that people change attitudes/lifestyles/policies/bu... practices is a big one. I think the doomdsday "do it or die" reporting is not useful but as we see from tobacco, even when people have the cold, rational science presented to them they still continue to kill themselves and those around them by smoking.
also, we saw the very same industry/political lobby groups out in force when government tried to deal with the Ozone layer. Eventually science won out. Hopefully it will be the same with this.
