This bit of bad news has been creeping around various news sources recently.

A chemical used to make LCD televisions and semiconductors could cause more global warming than coal-fired power plants, a report warns.

Nitrogen trifluoride is a “missing greenhouse gas,” according to a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters on June 26. It’s used in chemical vapor deposition, which makes liquid crystal displays, semiconductors, and synthetic diamond.

Nitrogen trifluoride’s globe-warming effect reportedly could be 17,000 times stronger than that of carbon dioxide.

LCD Worse than Coal?
