Greenfreeze Could Spell the Deep Freeze for Global Warming Refrigerators | Green Business | Reuters

Now Greenfreeze, the Greenpeace-developed HC refrigerant, is poised to enter the U.S. thanks to a boost from an unlikely pair of companies, Ben & Jerry's and General Electric. It's not a moment too soon: a new study has fingered HFC refrigerants and other so-called F-gasses as a rapidly growing source of emissions responsible for global warming.

Joseph D'Aleo is the executive director of IceCap.us and a certified consultant meteorologist. He says the recent global warming report is lacking in science.

"They hired a Hollywood producer, who produced some of Larry David's work, to help coordinate the document. They hired Resource Media, a PR firm, to help develop the talking points. And they turned to the Union of Concerned Scientists and asked them for the most alarmist model scenarios that you can come up with that we can put in our releases. And from day one, it is wrong on just about all counts," he contends.

Under a higher-emissions scenario, Illinois summers could be like those currently in eastern Texas, said Don Wuebbles, a professor in the UI's Department of Atmospheric Sciences.

"Basically we're talking about very extensive warming," he said. "Chicago has two days of about 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) and a dozen above 90 (degrees Fahrenheit)."

By the end of the century, with a high-emissions scenario, Chicago could have a month of temperatures at 100 degrees or more and an entire summer of temperatures around temperatures at 90 or above, he said.
