Creon and the use of CFCs was considered a safe scientific marvel for much of the 20th century. The use of these chemicals in refrigerators and aerosols was a widely accepted part of a booming industry until in the 1970s, when an emerging consensus on the dangers of the chemicals prompted international action during the 1980s and 1990s. Notice how attempts to solve this issue through policy led to the creation of new problems, and how disconnects contribute to these unintended consequences.
Refrigerators are an example of the "Governance Treadmill." The Governance Treadmill describes the process in which governments implement policy responses to address concern arising from a problem's signals. However, these policies are often ineffective at fully solving the problem and sometimes create a myriad of new issues that must then be responded to. Escaping the Treadmill involves selecting thorough policy responses that consider systemic processes, rather than selecting surface-level or easier responses.
