There's an alternative to the HCFCs that destroy the ozone layer. We still have air conditioners. We still fill air conditioners with something like HCFCs. Instead of hydrochlorofluorocarbons they use hydrofluorocarbons.
By contrast there isn't really an equivalent replacement for fossil fuels. Even the things that "replace" fossil fuels use massive amounts of fossil fuels to build, so it's rare to have anything that even comes up positive after all the required energy inputs that can't easily be replaced.
If you force people to replace one coolant with another it's relatively easy. If you stop people from having heat or light or transportation or food, all of which rely heavily on fossil fuels that can't be displaced with current technology, you won't need to worry about climate change because the angry mob will make sure it isn't something you have to worry anymore. Ask the government of Sri Lanka or Kenya.
