*And concentrations of the newer, ozone-friendly gases are also rising
meteorically, because industrialized countries began switching to them a
decade ago. New room air-conditioners in the United States now use an HFC
coolant called 410a, labeled "environmentally friendly" because it spares
the ozone. But its warming effect is 2,100 times that of carbon dioxide. And
the treaty cannot control the rise of these coolants because it regulates
only ozone-depleting gases.*
