The New York Times reported that we have reached a global warming plateau. Temperatures have steadied out over the past 15 years, and the explanation is that “we’re lucky”. While the surface temperature may be experiencing a lull, we have also been recording record high temperatures in the past decade, and extreme amounts of energy [ more ]
At Polar Technology, we have worked hard to develop a refrigerant tracking software known as TrakRef. Leaks can occur at many stages of a refrigerant’s life, and it is important to know where and how much leakage is occurring for the sake of safety, environmental consequences, and regulation compliance. TrakRef gives the user total control [ more ]

The North American Proposal establishes provisions for developed and developing country phasedown reductions of HFC production and consumption as follows below.

In a continuing effort to remain objective and provide relevant data to our readers, we have a rebuttal for the challenge. We [ more ]
