<span style="font-size:12.0pt">1. The US senate has voted to join 137 other nations in the Kigali Amendment of 2016 to greatly reduce the use of hydrofluorocarbons for refrigeration and air conditioning. HFCs have hundreds to thousands of times the heating
potential of CO2. The agreement will have the effect of lessening heating by about .5C at the end of the century. The Agreement amends the Montreal Protocol, which banned chlorofluorocarbons to protect the ozone shield.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

fertilizer use. Cover crops and no-till agriculture are surely worth supporting. Still, the act leaves in place provisions which support conventional agriculture, and appears to have little to influence the dietary shift to plant-based food which is necessary
for effective climate action. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/26/us/politics/climate-smart-farming-agriculture-department.html">
