thats a tough thing... because there is not science showing man man co2 causes warming...
so the question is... is there science showing these coolants really warm?
I just saw that Obama is trying to phase them out.
So... there is probably no truth to the claim.
But it does make Fraudcurrents more of an a eco terrorist.

The class of chemicals to which R-134a belongs — called
hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs — became popular as a replacement for
Freon, the refrigerant banned since the 1990s for damaging the Earth’s ozone layer. Most HFCs are harmless to ozone, but collectively they have become a significant driver of climate change — some are up to 10,000 times as potent per ounce as carbon dioxide, climate scientists say.
The steps unveiled this week are intended to accelerate the phaseout of most types of HFCs while still allowing manufacturers time to shift to more environmentally friendly replacements. If fully implemented, the measures would have an impact equivalent to removing 15 million cars from the nation’s highways for a decade, according to an administration official familiar with details of the plan.
has been seeking since 2010 to phase out production of HFCs, both through voluntary agreements as well as proposed new amendments to the Montreal Protocol, the treaty that outlawed Freon two decades ago. The initiatives to be announced Tuesday would expand the effort by securing the cooperation of a Who’s Who list of U.S. companies, ranging from major chemical manufacturers such as DuPont to some of the biggest users of refrigerants, such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo and the retailers Target and Kroger.
Among the voluntary participants is a coalition of chemical manufacturers representing 95 percent of U.S. production of HFCs. The companies have agreed to rapidly introduce replacement coolants into the market while taking additional steps to prevent leaks of R-134a into the environment, the administration official said. Coca-Cola, meanwhile, is expected to announce a goal to purchase only HFC-free refrigerators and cooling systems throughout its global network. Several of the companies had already begun making the shift to alternative coolants, responding to new restrictions on HFCs in the European Union as well as economists’ predictions of an eventual ban in the United States. One leading alternative to R-134a — called HFO-1234YF — can be used in most existing cooling systems without significant modifications.
