We’ve only had 1.3C of global average warming, but it’s enough to popularize the entire category of personal cooling devices. So when people say, “You won’t even notice 1C of global warming,” the market tells us that that’s absolute bullshit.

Notice they barely mention refrigerants because they are planning to use HFOs to meet low GWP targets rather than only actually sustainable choice - natural refrigerants. HFOs are PFAS and we are already seeing environmental accumulation of PFAS (primarily TFA) directly linked to HFO use around the world. We need to shift to natural refrigerants now.
