@VidyaSimran One thing you need to understand is that there are vast differences in certainty when it comes to theories proposed by scientists, especially climatologists. The ozone layer depletion was directly measurable, as proven by the observation of a giant hole opening up over Antarctica. However, with other theories, like "global warming," scientists can only measure its effects, not observe it directly. Also adding to the uncertainty is the fact that if it is accepted that the planet is permanently, and not temporarily, heating up over time, they also theorize that human activity is the cause. It's not due to any natural processes (e.g. the diminishment of sunspots on the surface of the Sun), in whole or in part. And even if we were to assume that people are responsible for heating up the planet, what can be done about it to make any significant difference? And what would be the cost? Taking all truckers off the road and drastically slowing our economy? Such a big problem requires an even bigger solution, and that may mean the entire world returning to the Stone Age. If industrialization is responsible, the only solution is to do away with industrialization, correct? Despite all the positive contributions to human health and benefits to humanity's standard of living in general? That's why I say it's not even worth minimizing our contributions to a problem that we a) don't fully comprehend, and b) is too large to fix completely.
