Climate Denial - In Hindsight By Bill Henderson

Against the backdrop of grim news from the Amazon and the horrific loss of life in South and South-East Asia in particular, and in another attempt to focus attention on government action instead of the Tucson debacle, the president gave a long interview on Emergency Channel One where he tried to distance himself from those on trial for willfully spreading denial.

Thanks EPA! Price of Freon Set to Skyrocket - By Greg Pollowitz - Planet Gore - National Review Online

The jump in Freon costs is the result of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency directive implemented this year. The EPA is phasing out production of the old Freon, known as R-22. That’s because the coolant contained hydrochlorofluorocarbons, which are the gases believed to be eroding the earth’s ozone layer. Instead, the EPA is requiring air conditioning manufacturers to use Freon R-410A, which is a cleaner gas.

That means the price of the old type of Freon has jumped from about $40 per pound to about $90 per pound. A refill of Freon in an air conditioning unit usually takes about 5 to 10 pounds of the gas.
