The theory about ozone related to the use of CFCs more than fossil fuels, IIRC. The behaviour of the model was predicted, and followed the scientific theory, some would say even further confirming it.
The idea that a theory is 'wrong' is more aligned with non-scientific definitions of theories. A theory is only replaced when a better one is postulated and then later adopted, as a theory is based on a body of knowledge and not single data points.
Good discussion.
