Television sets now blamed for global warming

abc.net.au — Plasma television sets are full of a gas called NF3. The gas, widely used in the manufacture of flat screen TVs, is estimated to be 17,000 times as powerful as carbon dioxide. Ironically, NF3 is not covered by the Kyoto protocol as it was only produced in tiny amounts when the treaty was signed in 1997. Levels of the gas have never been measured

    "Levels of this gas in the atmosphere have not been measured, but scientists say it is a concern and are calling for it to be included in any future emissions cutting agreement."

    It's FUD. Some scientist is trying to get 15 minutes of fame.
