A few days ago, the Biden administration made plans to restrict air conditioning as a means of combating global warming.

By 2028, the government hopes to cut hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) by 40%. HFC is the substance that keeps your home cool in the summer and is used in refrigeration.

Don’t worry, ice fans will always exist.

UPI stated the following:

“With the publication of an amendment that seeks to reduce the United States’ usage of greenhouse gases by nearly 50 percent, beginning next year, the Biden administration has made plans to keep up its efforts to reduce hydrofluorocarbons.”

Hydrofluorocarbons are a class of greenhouse gases associated with global warming. They are utilized in a variety of applications, including climate control and refrigeration.

According to previous estimates, the Environmental Protection Agency’s final regulation, which was issued on Tuesday, will cut HFC use in the United States by 40% between 2024 and 2028.

The bipartisan 2020 American Innovation and Manufacturing Act puts a target of lowering the manufacturing and consumption of HFCs by 85% by 2036. This is done in the hope to avert a 0.5-degree Celsius rise in the world’s temperature by the turn of the century.

This decrease will be in addition to the ten percent reduction in HFC usage that was carried out in 2022.

A large amount of Americans report being able to observe the impacts of the changing climate in their own neighborhoods. They believe the federal government has to do more to lessen these effects.

An overwhelming majority of the general population, which includes over 50 percent of Republicans and overpowering shares of Democrats, state they would support an array of projects.

These projects would mitigate the effects of climate change, such as massive tree planting campaigns, tax incentives for companies that capture carbon emissions, and stricter fuel-efficiency requirements for automobiles, based on a new Pew Research Center survey.
