it took more than a decade to stop putting lead in petrol.
and to stop using DDT. and to stop using CFCs in aerosols.

You appear to have over-estimated
the influence of scientists.

Big Companies slow down sceince
Lead, DDT, CFC are companies slowing down the science facts. (Again I am no expert and can't be arsed to look up the facts so working on memory here). Once science spotted the mistakes, the companies dragged their feet. but eventually they found solutions - again with science.

The example from the OP is very different as he is using totally unrelated "facts" and forcing them to "fit" a "theory" while ignoring all the other information that shows the "theory" is bullsh*t. That ain't science, that is selling books to weak minded people.

CFCs were ultimately replaced by propane and butane.
The trade-off being that while propane and butane are natural gases and don't have such a harmful effect on the upper atmosphere, they're much more flammable and explosive. To satisfy safety regulations, most aerosol-filling factories needed to have the cans sealed in a separate annexe - and it had to be designed to fall away from the main building in the event of a structurally compromising explosion.
