The parallels with global warming are striking. Again we face a real but greatly overhyped environmental problem. In both cases, virtually everything the public has been told that sounds terrifying isn't true -- and what is true isn't particularly terrifying." Ben Lieberman
The idea behind the Montreal Protocol was to keep projected future problems from happening at all. Here is a NASA video to correct the inaccuracies of your quote:

Similarly, the vast majority of the projected problems from climate change haven't happened yet, but paleoclimatology informs us of what we can anticipate if we do nothing: rising sea levels and mass extinctions of species. Other projections are made on the basis of complex computer models, and offer the best science available to inform decision-making.
