But all decisions are made by consensus.

So that's a tricky one.

we will see adverse effects on climate.

It's already contributing about 15% of the radiative impact of all HFCs.

I mean, there was a scientific study that showed the take-up of HFCs, particularly by developing countries, because of the continuing air conditioning and refrigeration needs, was just going to go up exponentially.

The world's getting warmer and more populated and developing countries in some cases are getting richer as well.

So, you know, off it went.

So if we don't do it, we will continue to see a warming influence.

And this has a global warming potential of around 14,000 times more than CO2.

Great.

We're doing our best.

I think there's lots of reasons for hope.

In a climate sense, you see some of the things that are going on, for example, with solar and wind and electric vehicles and batteries and everything.

There's some big change happening down the road.

In the atmospheric side, the pollutants we work on

are quite short-lived.

So if you were to shut off the emissions, then the pollution actually goes away quite quickly.

And COVID was a perfect example of that, where we saw in COVID, you know, cities that had this hazy air pollution suddenly clean up within a matter of days.

So it can be done if the will is there.

It's a very large field with lots of problems.
