Have we solved the ozone depletion problem and if so why can’t we get a handle on global warming as well?

NASA Study: Proof of Ozone Hole Recovery

Climate Change

For the first time, scientists have shown through direct satellite observations of the ozone hole that levels of ozone-destroying chlorine are declining, resulting in less ozone depletion. Measurements show that the decline in chlorine, resulting from an international ban on chlorine-containing man-made chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), has resulted in about 20 percent less ozone depletion…
