The contribution of HFCs to climate forcing is currently less than 1% of all greenhouse gases. If HFC emissions continue to increase, they are likely to have a noticeable influence on the climate system. Climate and the Ozone Layer. Climate-friendly HFCs. W m -2 relative to 2000.

Our 2020 study , published in Nature Climate Change , found that manufacturing a typical EV sold in the United States in 2018 emitted about 7 to 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide, compared with about 5 to 6 tonnes for a gasoline-fueled vehicle. An EV operated in Yunnan emits about 60 percent less. Of course, meeting the more ambitious 1.5 °C
