Your flat-screen TV is contributing to global warming

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.
