Last week Drudge hyped a story about how the manufacture of flat screen TVs was causing global warming. Naturally this was seized by denialists to argue that if everything causes global warming there is no point in doing anything about CO2. The story struck me as a beat up -- 4,000 tons of NF3 isn't much compared with 30 billion tons of CO2, but it's much worse than I expected. Eli Rabett has the details on why NF3 emissions are basically non-existent.
