OK, I can't quite believe this.
Sometimes you read a sci-fi story & think, "well, that was fun - but *obviously* there's zero truth in it!"

Total nonsense?

I honestly don't think everyone talks enough about how amazing it was when the world came together to fix the hole in the ozone layer, so I wrote this:
