    By the time CFC's we're identified as a problem their patents had expired. Manufacturing had shifted from the big chemical companies to small low cost/low profit companies. The politically powerful big companies had no interest in keeping CFC's and the small manufacturers had no political power. A shift to the new type of refrigerant, HFC's, would be profitable for the big, politically powerful companies. This is how there was the political impetus to switch. Now that HFC's have been identified as greenhouse gasses, and their patent protection has expired, the big, politically powerful manufacturers have new (profitable) refrigerants to replace them. Don't expect there to be the political will to do significant change from hydrocarbons to renewables until the politically powerful can make profit.

      Funny how every refrigerant was fine until the patents expired..?

      @AtomicReverend Před 6 lety +4

      Karla Berger, we mainly used 2 refrigerants in the USAfrom the early 1950s until the early 1990s (replacing methyl methanoate, a highly flammable and poisonous compound), R12 A.K.A. dichlorodifluoromethane (used in automobiles and refrigerators mainly) and R22 A.K.A Chlorodifluoromethane, (used in household and commercial AC units mainly and in aerosol cans as the propellant), there were other refrigerants and other uses but those were the main culprits for CFC in the refrigerant industry in the USA, they were mainly used because they were relatively safe for consumers (being non flammable) and cheap to manufacture. They were replaced with more costly and generally extremely flammable volatile hydrocarbons, typically propane, n-butane and isobutane. Dimethyl ether (DME) and methyl ethyl ether are also used which ironically emit just as much Co² as CFC's did (unlike what Trace clams in this clearly left leaning libtarded video) because they are literally hydrocarbon molecular chains. Gary is right the patients on R12 and R22 "Freon" which is a DuPont brand names not an actual gas name (as I wrote the names of above) ran out decades ago. Free market enterprise economy creates jobs and technology you can see this today as DuPont is phasing out R134 tetrafluoroethane for Tetrafluoropropene HFO 1234yf because it s lower in CO² production and has a valid patent. It has nothing to do with the Paris climate agreement that we are no longer part of but a better "freon" that makes less CO² emissions, that everyone in the world will have to buy off of DuPont to meet these unrealistic climate goals (that I will bet money not a single large economy nation [France, Germany are examples] will be able to meet, but that is opinion not fact).

    Did you actually read the Paris Agreement and how specific it is one why the US is the only one being told to pay for the aid on the agreement while China and India specifically don’t have to deal with paying their part with less consequences? If this agreement is a benefit to all nations, why is it that only the US is to pay for the research and development of plans to reduce CO2 emissions? And don’t give me that because we’re the riches country argument, if this is a joint effort, US shouldn’t be paying for this alone. That’s why we stepped out of the agreement because it wasn’t a fair agreement.

      Climate change is a process that has occurred over billions of years since the earth came into existence. I think you are confused no one has ever made that claim nor did I child.
      Your weak non argument sidestepping and attempts at mental gymnastics to get around the fact that there is zero provable evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt that humans have repaired the ozone layer or damaged the ozone layer is laughable.
      The burden of proof is always upon the party or person making the claims, so therefore unless you can right now create a perfect emulation of our planet in a global sized experiment that spans decades to the stretch of centuries which can provide viable empirical evidence to even remotely prove any negligible amount of gases from human activity were some how magically able to damage the ozone layer or lack there of these insignificant amounts of gases were able to reverse a hole in the ozone layer and repair it over the span of several decades directly caused by human activity despite volcanic activity ( i.e. natural causes) being the major contributing factor with humans having over the past 250 years contributed just one part of CO2 in 10,000 to the atmosphere. One volcanic cough can do this in a day. That's 0.01% percentile or 1/10,000 for human gas contribution in CO2. If your simple mind can comprehend all this then come back and talk to me.
      You have no argument.

So will we stop making meat at the expense of killing off a good portion of our population or will we continue producing meat at the expense of the environment? Either option is bad with the latter being the lesser of 2 evils but ppl are naturally scared of death bc we're animals too (instincts), so we wuld end up choosing the former. So pretty much nothing we can do b4 the point of no return comes.

    You could mention the way in which ozone captures UV-light, but it'd probably screw your smartass "politicians i'm not daring to address by name are ruining the atmosphere, because they can"-routine.
    For those of you who skipped chemistry for sociology -- ozone is an unstable substance, that created when a loose oxygen atom meets O2 molecule with consumption of a UV-photon, after some time it breaks down to O + O2 with extra energy dissipating as a heat. Yep chlorine is affecting this balance, but more air is UV-exposed the more ozone is created.

      Perhaps you shouldn't have left out an ozone 'hole' is one in which a region of ozone falls below 220 dobson units. Naturally ozone levels drop above this threshold in polar winters when no Sun is shinning on that region. Due to ODSs ozone levels continue to drop past the 220 DU threshold forming a 'hole'. If you want to call out others on their science you better make sure to get yours correct.

  • @123philimo
    @123philimo Před 6 lety

    Banning refrigeration gases always takes a while. There's been R22 and R23 about 15-20yrs ago, those were the 2 main gases used. A lot of countries agreed on getting rid of it because of their devastating effect on the ozone layer, but for another 5 to 10 years you were allowed to refill it in already existing systems but not to use fill new ones with it. After that period of time you had to change gases and for that you had to change the sealing gasket where it was possible (solenoid valves for example) otherwise it would happen pretty fast for those gaskets to get a leakage. But even changing the sealing gaskets wasn't the solution. Still most of the system where they were changed were leaking after months or a few years.
    Same thing is now happening with R404a. The prices already rose extraordinarily high this year. However there are more more systems (especially supermarkets) built containing R744 as a refrigerant, which is nothing else but CO2 and not as bad for the enivronment as the other gases. For example 3kg R404 has a CO2 equivalent of 11 metric tons of CO2.
    However CO2 is running with a much higher pressure which makes construction costs higher due to more safety devices required like gas warners in cold rooms, high pressure release valves on every compressor, thicker copper tubes and so on. Cause yeah, you dont normally run above 30bars with 1,5mm wall thickness of the tube. For higher pressures you use a thicker tube and the high pressure required isn't to joke with. On the suction side you have around 25 bars compared to 2 bars with R404a (depends on the required suction gas temp, the deeper you want your temperatur the less of pressure you have).
