Days with Frog and Toad by Arnold Lobel

US climate regulations may be weakening, but when it comes to phasing out super-pollutants, the world’s manufacturers are forging ahead anyway. The main culprit: Hydrofluorocarbons used in cooling. Cutting them could avoid up to 0.5°C of warming this century. news.fixthenews.com/t81Tj7E
