I don't remember this article being posted here, so here goes:

In rare bipartisan climate agreement, senators forge plan to slash use of potent greenhouse gas
Proposal would cut hydrofluorocarbons, used in air conditioning and refrigerators, by 85 percent by 2035

Quote
In a rare show of defiance of the Trump administration, key Senate Republicans joined Democrats on Thursday in agreeing to phase out chemicals widely used in air conditioners and refrigeration that are warming the planet.

Despite the Trump administration’s refusal to join a global agreement to reduce hydrofluorocarbons, which are among the world’s most potent drivers of climate change, a push by U.S. firms and environmentalists appears to have swayed lawmakers.

Its a good development, though I do have a concern about some of the substitutes in cars. One of them I heard requires high levels of pressurization, which could be very dangerous in car accidents.
