It appears that GM is jumping onboard with reducing atmosphere pollutants be introducing a new refrigerant that will replace R-134A

I thought this excerpt was interesting:
The biggest benefit of the new refrigerant, (HFO-1234yf) supplied by Honeywell, is that it breaks down faster in the atmosphere than the refrigerant currently used (R-134a), On average, R-134a refrigerant has an atmospheric life of more than 13 years, giving it a global warming potential (GWP) of over 1,400.
