Tiny Terror

Michael Prather of the University of California at Irvine claims that flat-screen televisions are a blasphemy in the eyes of Blessed Gaia will exacerbate global warming because the nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) they use is 17,200 times more of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

And the cyanide in apple seeds will make me fall stone dead. When NF3 is dumped into the atmosphere by the trillions of tons and we all start choking to death on the fumes, then we can start worrying about its greenhouse effect. If at all.

The quantity released into the atmosphere per screen is glaringly absent from the article.

A kilogram? A microgram?
