Yes, we all know that there are many serious problems currently in the world. The tanking U.S. economy and all of its wounded parts; we'll need to focus upon digging ourselves out for quite awhile. Remaining vigilant with global terrorism and rogue nations. Check. Etc., etc.
One hope about the new U.S. administration is that it might have the collective ability to actually address more than one single issue at a time. And it's going to have to, given what was left behind by the previous, "terrorism=Iraq" administration. (Yes, and by Congress too.)
Here is one climate-related request that I included recently for the 'Citizen's Briefing Book', available last month on President-elect Obama's change.gov web site. That open forum accumulated "tens of thousands" of ideas and suggestions. So here's one that won't win the "most-voted-for" popularity contest, but that I hope still receives appropriate (high-level) consideration.
Nobody (i.e., no government) currently monitors or regulates nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) :
"A link follows to an October, 2008 NASA research report about a powerful greenhouse gas that appears to be at least four times more prevalent in the atmosphere than previously estimated.
Nitrogen triflouride (NF3) emissions need further study, but national and global policymakers should pay serious attention to this potent contributor to warming.
