The interesting thing about this one is we’ve done it to ourselves, as this compound occurs nowhere in anture - a specific process is needed to produce it.

I don’t think your argument, though valid, is entirely correct. The amount of carbon dioxide saved, through efficiency, over the life of the LCD versus a CRT, makes up, many times over, for the amount of nitrogen trifluoride that MIGHT escape into the atmosphere.

Since the chemical must be formed, the amount in total must pale in comparison to carbon dioxide pollution.

The first thing that everyone can do, though it sounds silly, and is certainly not new, is plant a tree - we have a lot to make up for - both here on this continent and the South American continent. (The Amazon rain forest loss is something that won’t be recovered easily)

The rain forest loss is astonishing. I think it comes down to the area of a football field being destroyed every second (based on how much is destroyed over an entire year).

Thanks for the comment =)

You can not change Global Warming, so get over it!

Global Warming is beneficial to rain forests as it increases the acreage available for the development of rain forest. Right now the biggest threat to the rain forest comes from those trying to fight Global Warming. They are tearing down the rain forest to grow crops for biofuels.

BTW, how many know that for teh last ten years we have been going through a Global Cooling trend?? Who knows what will happen next.
