In the 80s scientists discovered that ozone layer has a growing hole caused by CFCs. All UN members signed the Montreal protocol designed to protect the ozone layer. It has been healing all this time and right now the problem is pretty much solved.

This was after the smart people all died.
And yet they pick the smartest guy around to solve the problem.
