Plasma, LCDs blamed for accelerating global warming

A gas used in the making of flat screen televisions, nitrogen
trifluoride (NF3), is being blamed for damaging the atmosphere and
accelerating global warming.

Almost half of the televisions sold around the globe so far this year
have been plasma or LCD TVs.

But this boom could be coming at a huge environmental cost.

The gas, widely used in the manufacture of flat screen TVs, is
estimated to be 17,000 times as powerful as carbon dioxide.

Ironically, NF3 is not covered by the Kyoto protocol as it was only
produced in tiny amounts when the treaty was signed in 1997.

Levels of this gas in the atmosphere have not been measured, but
scientists say it is a concern and are calling for it to be included
in any future emissions cutting agreement.

Professor Michael Prather from the University of California has
highlighted the issue in an article for the magazine New Scientist.

He has told ABC's The World Today program that output of the gas needs
to be measured.

"One of my titles for this paper was Going Below Kyoto's Radar. It's
the kind of gas that's made in huge amounts," he said.

"Not only is it not in the Kyoto Treaty but you don't even have to
report it. That's the part that worries me."

He estimates 4,000 tons of NF3 will be produced in 2008 and that
number is likely to double next year.

"We don't know what's emitted, but what they're producing every year
dwarfs these giant coal-fired power plants that are like the biggest
in the world," he said.

"And it dwarfs two of the Kyoto gases. So the real question we don't
know is how much is escaping and getting out."

Dr Paul Fraser is the chief research scientist at the CSIRO's marine
and atmospheric research centre, and an IPCC author.

He says without measuring the quantity of NF3 in the atmosphere it is
unclear what impact it will have on the climate.

"We haven't observed it in the atmosphere. It's probably there in very
low concentrations," he said.

"The key to whether it's a problem or not is how much is released to
the atmosphere."

They should take all the old CRTs in the dumps and break them over the
heads of all clueless envirofaggots.
BTW, is the Earth still cooling, like they claimed in 1975??

You... I mean We are not the cause, nor the cure.
Research and study all sides before making an intelligent decision.

Your 2 cents isn't worth much. Try:

www.ipcc.ch

The only site not paid for by the energy industry.

If you believe the bull**** on those the lame ass sites you listed
above, you deserve to find yourself under a few feet of water.

The simple question remains: WHAT IF YOU'RE WRONG???

I'd rather we be wrong and end up with alternate energies, less
pollution and fewer wars over oil than be right and watch all life
slowly slip away.

Your choice.

The person below is quite possibly a seriously unbalanced individual.

Now see what you did? See what happens when you taunt the tards?

It's straight to bed with you, no dinner, and no allowance.

Maybe you can explain why the "links" page there references
information on government sites of the US, Canada, Brazil, a couple
of others, and Iran, but NO European government sites?

That is odd, and maybe a reflection of something important.
