EPA Chief Gina McCarthy wants the world to stop using hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in air conditioners and other consumers products as part of President Barack Obama's plan to fight global warming.
McCarthy is so determined to make this happen, she's taking the lead role at an ongoing United Nations summit to expand the current global treaty covering ozone-depleting substances. The EPA chief hopes that her agency's recent HFC regulations will convince other countries to join the U.S. in limiting the chemicals.
"Because of the importance of taking aggressive action on these chemicals to achieve global climate goals, I will be leading the United States delegation at that meeting," McCarthy wrote in an oped for The Guardian.
"Over the past year, the US Environmental Protection Agency has completed four separate actions that both expand the list of safer alternatives to HFCs and prohibit them from certain uses in the refrigeration air conditioning, foam, and aerosol sectors where safer alternatives such as hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), hydrocarbons and lower-polluting blends are available," McCarthy wrote.
"Solutions are here, and it's time to amend the Montreal Protocol to reflect that," McCarthy wrote, adding that phasing out HFCs would avert 0.5 degrees Celsius of global warming by the end of the century.
The EPA unveiled its latest HFC regulation earlier this month to regulate how refrigerants are handled and ban such chemicals where "climate-friendly" alternatives are available. The EPA was joined by the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense in issuing rules to phase out HFC use wherever possible.

There’s always ammonia as an alternative. Or propane, butane.
“Old school” refrigeration.
only for us, brother, only for us.
i’m sure the WH will be a comfy temp and well is this woman’s house
All Hail Willis Carrier!
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
But then the gibsmedat flat panels will overheat!
Question #1. Gina you ignorant slut, have you removed all air conditioning from your vehicles, home and place of work?
Question #2. Gina you ignorant slut, do you boycott and refuse to enter any establishment, like the U.N., grocery, department stores, whatever?
Question #3. Gina you ignorant slut, exactly what technology are prepared to replace Hydrofluorocarbon based refrigeration systems with?
Question #4. Gina you ignorant slut, how long before you and your gaia worshipping luddites go after the largest users of Hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants, our refrigerators and freezers?
The elitists won’t rest until you’re living like Fred Flintstone. Then they can keep all the resources and power for themselves. Mwahahahahaha
Strategy is obvious. If people lack AC, they will feel hot and believe in global warming.
Hmmm, well it looks like there isn’t going to be room in this country for air conditioning or the EPA.
One of them is going to have to go.
Now let me think a moment on which one of the two is going to get the old heave ho...
Let’s start by banning A/C in ALL gov buildings and vehicles.
And don’t forget to reduce the funds for them as well.
See how long that lasts.
Don’t forget, the EPA took asthma sufferer’s inhalers away from them. They’re not only despicable, they are heartless. Powerful too.
I’ve been saying that the number one issue this election season is sovereignty.
I’m starting to think the number two issue has to be shutting down EPA and forcing all these nimrods into gainful employment.
Gina McCarthy is addicted to power...raw power which has left her unhinged.
More made up stats!
“0.5 degrees Celsius of global warming by the end of the century.?”
hasnt all that global climate chaos stuff been adequately exposed as being..FRAUDULENT already?
May the next President PURGE the EPA Immediately on taking office.
Getting all the A/Cs out of automobiles should be fun.
The Obama regime continues in their attempts to fundamentally change the USA... Into a 3rd world hell hole.
Mark
Let her be first with her agency in 90 degree weather during the summer. Try using your computers when the computer room has no AC. fn dolt
