Global warming is obviously a serious problem and it is laughable the approach taken to "resolve" the issue. When it was discovered decades ago that the ozone layer had a hole the solution was to enact practices to let the hole heal itself naturally. I am not a fan of the mindset that if you want shade that you should plant an acorn and wait twenty years.
It is not difficult or expensive to produce machines that produce ozone. The United States and every other space capable nation should be launching missions every week to place dozens or hundreds or thousands of ozone producing machines in orbit to taking a more direct approach to patching the ozone layer.
If the situation gets more dire and the UV damage becomes more threatening a more drastic approach might be considered. I believe a controlled nuclear winter is a possibility. Detonations at the North and South Poles could be calculated to shelter the skies in the northern and southern latitudes stretching several miles from the Poles.
Those are a couple ideas.
