China’s first prosecution for rogue ozone-killer gases – but much more needs to be done
For the first time, China has prosecuted a company for the illegal use of a dangerous ozone-depleting gas in its products
Emissions of one of the worst greenhouse gases “a climate crime of epic proportions”
Emissions of HFC-23 greenhouse gas are "a climate crime of epic proportions”
We’re in a global climate emergency, so why are we putting out more emissions than ever?
Despite growing awareness of the climate emergency and mass demonstrations around the world demanding urgent action, two new reports reveal we’re collectively pumping out more dangerous gas emissions than ever. The reports from the United Nations Environmental Programme and the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) show that action on the streets has yet to translate into […]
Spreading the word of natural refrigerants in the struggle to tackle the climate crisis
Refrigeration is a significant and growing source of greenhouse gases yet the switch to natural refrigerants is one of the most cost-effective solutions to climate change mitigation. However, despite the ongoing climate crisis and struggle to speed up the shift to natural alternatives, the climate-harming nature of refrigerants such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) is not a […]
