    The document discusses lessons that can be learned from efforts to protect the ozone layer and how they can be applied to solving global warming. It argues that we don't need absolute certainty to take action to reduce emissions, as inaction itself is a choice with consequences. It also notes that solutions will require action at all levels, from individuals to governments. Finally, it suggests that the pursuit of perfect solutions should not prevent implementation of good solutions that can make meaningful progress on the problem.
