Nitrogen trifluouride, NFl3, is a byproduct of liquid crystal flat-panel TV displays and electronic microcircuits manufacture. It’s also 17,500 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
And, it’s a lot more prevalent in the atmosphere than previously believed. Plus, it’s five times more durable than CO2.
Right now, it’s only a 0.15 percent cause of global warming, it is estimated. But, this is only likely to go up.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
