US Senators Chris Murphy (Connecticut, Democratic party) and Susan Collins (Maine, Republican party) have announced their plans to introduce the “Super Pollutants Act of 2014” aimed at reducing emissions of HFCs and other short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs).
Short-lived climate pollutants are the problem too few people are talking about, but are doing some of the worst damage to the atmosphere,” said Murphy. “As we work to combat threats to our climate, we can’t leave short-lived pollutants out of the equation. Our bill will take these dangerous pollutants head on by making smarter use of tools already at our disposal here in the US. This is a bipartisan proposal to address a global threat, and I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to help us reduce these super pollutants.”
