Air conditioners and refrigerators pose as big a threat to "life on the planet" as the threat of terrorism, Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday.

Kerry was in Vienna negotiating a global climate deal to phase out chemicals used as refrigerants in basic household and commercial appliances such as air conditioning and refrigerators, called hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs. The chemicals are a potent source of greenhouse gas emissions that many scientists blame for contributing to global warming.

Kerry made the remarks as part of a pep talk for negotiators working through the weekend to amend a 1987 treaty called the Montreal Protocol to deal with the chemicals.

Kerry, you’ve proved, several times, you’re a complete idiot. Did you ever pay your yacht property tax you owed yet?

...actually there’s quite a bit on the web about using propane/butane in place of R-12, and, as of the last time that I checked, no big conflagrations (fires, for those of you in Rio Linda).

It seems to be more paranoia (understandable, but still paranoia) about the flammability of propane/butane, as opposed to the actual instances of serious combustion events.

But I do agree - propane is an IDEAL refrigerant, absolute perfect, in fact, once we get past the flammability issue.
