countries are joining the rich nations and phasing out their production of
ozone-destroying chemicals. Developed countries have already stopped making CFCs
and are contributing to a fund to help the rest of the world follow suit. The

be China, which spent the 1990s turning itself into the world’s largest producer
of CFCs and other ozone destroyers.
