Most refrigeration systems are vapor compression devices that use a refrigerant. If that refrigerant is one of the older Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC, HCFC) it will contribute to ozone depletion.
I guess you missed out on the CFC ban in 1996? You know the Montreal Protocol? *Shrug*
Amazing what we can do if people simply pull their head out of the sand, put aside their personal biases and simply understand science.

This quote used to be on the IPCC site but the reference is no longer there:
“The climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.”
Of course that little gem was buried. I guess someone didn't get the memo about using global cooling, no, global warming, no, climate change to usher in a global governing body and subsequent worldwide wealth redistribution. Sheesh. Get on board already.
... in years when the tropical Pacific region is warmer like this year, trees and plants grow less and absorb smaller amounts of the gas.
