Potent, climate warming gases are being emitted into the atmosphere but are not being recorded in official inventories, a BBC investigation has found. Air monitors in Switzerland have detected large quantities of one gas coming from a location in Italy. However, the Italian submission to the UN records just a tiny amount of the substance being emitted. Levels of some emissions from India and China are so uncertain that experts say their records are plus or minus 100%.
These flaws posed a bigger threat to the Paris climate agreement than US President Donald Trump's intention to withdraw, researchers told BBC Radio 4's Counting Carbon programme.
Bottom-up records
Among the key provisions of the Paris climate deal, signed by 195 countries in December 2015, is the requirement that every country, rich or poor, has to submit an inventory of its greenhouse-gas emissions every two years. Under UN rules, most countries produce "bottom-up" records, based on how many car journeys are made or how much energy is used for heating homes and offices.
But air-sampling programmes that record actual levels of gases, such as those run by the UK and Switzerland, sometimes reveal errors and omissions. In 2011, Swiss scientists first published their data on levels of a gas called HFC-23 coming from a location in northern Italy. Between 2008 and 2010, they had recorded samples of the chemical, produced in the refrigeration and air conditioning industries, which is 14,800 times more warming to the atmosphere than CO2. Now the scientists, at the Jungfraujoch Swiss air monitoring station, have told the BBC the gas is still going into the atmosphere.
"Our estimate for this location in Italy is about 60-80 tonnes of this substance being emitted every year, then we can compare this with the Italian emission inventory,

How dare we not willing be defrauded by this hoax!
Fake data. Liars. Anti-science frauds. What could possibly go wrong???
I think everyone is looking to save face with those they’ve been deceiving with all this faulty atmospheric data. Australia even had faulty days, and I think there will be more..lots more. The USA backed out, and they all wanted that big financial boost to split among themselves. There’s no point in continuing if they can’t swindle the bux from us. They’ll have to dig up something else like a war with Russia or something.
People are surprised that people are lying for money.
Really. Isn’t it interesting that now that Mark One has walked away from the 3-card-Monty game, the shills are now at each other’s throats.
At first read, I thought they were going after “doggies” with the cows.
“Dodgy” = Falsified

If you describe someone or something as dodgy, you disapprove of them because they seem rather dishonest and unreliable. [British , informal , disapproval]
He was a bit of a dodgy character. ...cash made in dodgy underworld deals.
I don’t doubt everyone is lying about their emissions, but how come they don’t ask why isn’t the global temperature going up with all these extra emissions?
this is the greatest scientific fraud of all time.
who will be held accountable.
for starters, MSM and anyone claiming humans emitting C02 are causing global warming must be made to call it as such and stop calling it “climate change”, which has been happening forever.
they are confusing young people who no longer hear about normal climate change, which is unforgivable.
HFC-23, assuming the standard naming convention, is triflouro methane. I bet it is due to old leaky refrigerators that are not counted in the industry reports.
But they are mentioning a specific locality in Italy. You would think all of the old refrigerators in Italy would leak at the same rate all over the country...:^)
I bet it's some sort of recycling place that simply isn’t doing it's job.
