The HFC imperative: essential action for global climate protection
The Montreal Protocol has been extremely successful in enabling the phase-out of ozone depleting substances (ODS). As a result of these phase-outs, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have been commercialized as substitutes for ODS. The HFCs being used as ODS substitutes are powerful greenhouse gases (GHG) with global-warming potentials (GWP) hundreds to thousands of times

HFCs could pose great threat to efforts against global warming: study
A new scientific study has warned that if use of 'super greenhouse gases', known as hydrofluorocarbons or HFCs, is not controlled it could contribute to global warming. According sources here on Wednesday, these findings were made by an international team of researchers.
