The National Resources Defense Council are asking the EPA to set a deadline for getting a powerful climate-changing pollutant out of new refrigerators, freezers, and a variety of other products. The chemical, a hydrofluorocarbon known as HFC-134a, is a "super greenhouse gas." It has 1,430 times the global warming kick of CO2. Scientists warn that if the rapid global growth in HFCs is left unchecked, these chemicals will be responsible for a major share of future climate change.
