“Push to Fix Ozone Layer and Slow Global Warming”
A group of industrial counties, opposed by China, is pushing to accelerate the phasing-out of the use of HCFC-22, a refrigerant chemical used in refrigerations and air conditions all around the world. Dog bites man? Not quite. The Bush Administration supports the change.
Of course, a complete change would mean that everyone would have to replace their “old” units; perhaps this is a little like the HDTV conversion — one industry does well merely by virtue of the transition.
