Just came across this:
"General Motors announced it will switch to a new refrigerant for all 2013 Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, and GMC models.
The new gas, HFO-1234yf, breaks down far faster in the atmosphere than today's R-134a, and will reduce the amount of airborne refrigerant from the new cars by more than 99 percent.
Supplied by Honeywell, the greenhouse-gas-friendly HFO-1234yf refrigerant breaks down in just 11 days, versus its predecessor's 13 years. This cuts its rating on the global warming potential (GWP) index from more than 1,400 to just 4."
Emery--have any idea what this stuff is?
