Sounds very dodgy to me...CFCs are a small percentage of the overall radiative forcing from greenhouse gases and this argument seems to be based largely on a short term partial correlation on a graph between CFC concentrations and temperatures.
I am sure that we could find other things that appear to correlate - consumption of jaffa cakes or popular useage of the word 'awesome' should maybe be investigated for their causal relationship to climate change.

Subject: Chlorofluorocarbons not carbon dioxide causes global warming? Really?
Enjoy the topsy turvy world of science contradictions.
I wish someone would make their damned minds up.
