The #Trump admin plans to relax a #Biden-era rule that requires grocery stores, air-conditioning companies, semiconductor plants & others to sharply & rapidly reduce powerful #GreenhouseGases used in cooling equipment.
The #EPA plan would unravel what many industry leaders & environmentalists view as a rare success for the #climate: a bipartisan agreement that those man-made #chemicals, known as #hydrofluorocarbons, or #HFCs, should be rapidly phased down.

The U.S. has launched a new initiative to crack down on smugglers at U.S. borders and ports. The concern isn’t drugs, though; it’s a refrigerant that’s also a dangerous greenhouse gas. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/09/21/us-greenhouse-gas-smuggling/ #environment #climatechange #emissions #us #joebiden #mexico #hydrofluorocarbons

Federal prosecutors allege that Michael Hart, 58, of San Diego, purchased the gases in #Mexico & transported them across the border in the back of his truck, concealed under a tarp & tools. He then allegedly sold them online, including on sites such as #Facebook Marketplace & #OfferUp.
The 2020 #law cracked down on chemicals called #hydrofluorocarbons, or #HFCs, that are widely used in air conditioning & refrigeration. -

#ExtremeHeat is pushing #India to the brink. One obvious solution is also a big part of the problem
By 2050, India will be among the first places where temperatures will cross survivability limits, according to climate experts.

"Ramesh, who goes by one name, says he borrowed $35 – nearly half of his monthly salary – from relatives to buy a second-hand air conditioner for his home.
"'It makes a noise, sometimes it releases dust,' he said. But he cannot do without it.
By 2050, India will be among the first places where temperatures will cross survivability limits, according to #climate experts. And within that time frame, the demand for #AirConditioners (AC) in the country is also expected to rise nine-fold, outpacing all other appliances, according to a recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
"Ramesh’s predicament encapsulates the paradox facing the world’s most populous country of 1.4 billion: The hotter and wealthier India gets, the more Indians will use AC. And the more they use AC, the hotter the country will become.
"Like refrigerators, many air conditioners today use a class of coolants called #hydrofluorocarbons, or #HFCs, which are harmful #GreenhouseGases. And even more problematically, air conditioners tend to use large amounts of electricity, generated by the burning of #FossilFuels."

"The Environmental Protection Agency is enforcing stricter limits on #hydrofluorocarbons, highly potent #GreenhouseGases used in #refrigerators and #AirConditioners that contribute to #GlobalWarming.
The new rule announced Tuesday builds on a 10% reduction required by the end of this year. It requires a 40% overall reduction from 2024 through 2028."
