Biden signs international climate deal on refrigerants
Yahoo ^ | 27 Oct 2022

Posted on 10/28/2022 9:14:31 AM PDT by DUMBGRUNT

President Joe Biden on Thursday signed an international agreement that compels the United States and other countries to limit use of hydrofluorocarbons, highly potent greenhouse gases commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning that are far more powerful than carbon dioxide.

...The agreement should lead to tens of thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in exports as clean technologies are developed to replace HFCs around the world, Zaidi said.

The Senate approved a largely symbolic amendment by GOP Sens. Dan Sullivan of Alaska and Mike Lee of Utah declaring that China is not a developing country and should not be treated as such by the United Nations or other intergovernmental organizations.

The Chinese are still paying pennies per pound for R12...R22... Whatever they need.

Because so many Americans are now dependent on Heat Pumps for indoor survival and team Brandon is constantly changing the designs which add to ever-increasing costs.

Brandon needs to mandate a government takeover of the residential HVAC repair market. Modeled on the successful Medicare/Medicaid plan only the undefined wealthy would have to pay for any service calls.

And if some poor unfortunate living in a tarpaper shack needed a new window shaker, they could be referred to the Cash for Caulkers team to update their shanty.

Your brand new heat pump using R410a is obsolete and 410 costs more than your new system... NOT TO WORRY! The government will help you!

Isn’t this a treaty? Doesn’t the Senate have a role here?

The Senate has already voted in favor of this treaty, 69-27.

Yep. And that required a lot of Republican votes. Swell folks, those globalist Republicans are.

Just in time, too! This whole refrigerant issue arose from fake science regarding the “Ozone Holes” at the poles.

Guess what, mysteriously,and without this legislation, the “holes” have shrunk to record levels. They are probably a normal feature of the atmosphere that are cyclical or otherwise affected by forces other than refrigerators and air-conditioners.

DuPont owns the patent for the new R1234yf refrigerant and subs to Honeywell. Dupont also holds the patent for the current R134/410 which is running out. The same happened with R12/22 and they used false tests to make people think it was the devil.

Not before wreck, ruin and exploding costs take their toll.

Things like this are “minor” to the sheeple, spinate and congrescritters so they just get swept under the carpets.

Money has a huge influence as well. Dupont just cashed a huge check in the way of monopoly for their product that will save the erf or something like that.

I have a brand new 410A central unit installed this year and three new mini-splits installed in the last two years and another to be installed later.... all rendered obsolete in the stroke of a pen costing me tens of thousands of dollars and for units that are increasingly less efficient.

Didn’t we already change out the refrigerants, and for the exact same reason?

The patent for refrigerants must have run out again.
