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?

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
