CFCs have a high chlorine content and have been linked strongly to ozone depletion and global warming. HCFCs were considered an improvement when they were first introduced, as they have lower chlorine and make a lesser contribution to ozone depletion and global warming. Green hydrogen.

Black carbon alone has a climate warming potential between 460-1,500 times that of CO2, and can last in the atmosphere for up to 12 days. Black carbon contributes to global warming by converting incoming solar radiation into heat, which can have detrimental effects on cloud formation and rainfall patterns.

However, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) caused damage to the ozone layer and were phased out following the Montreal Protocol in 1987. Production of Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) then increased globally, because they are less harmful to stratospheric ozone.

By 1843, a Punch magazine article featured the first artificial ice rink, “not of frozen water but of a slush of chemicals including hog’s lard and melted sulphur, which smelled abominably.” CFCs and HCFCs are synthetic gases attributed to ozone layer destruction.
