Finally, he accepted the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol to reduce a harmful chemical called hydrofluorocarbons.

最后，他接受了《（蒙特利尔议定书）基加利修正案》，以减少被称为氢氟烃的有害化学物质。

We helped craft the Kigali agreement that will end the production and use of hydrofluorocarbons.

我们帮助制定了基加利协议，将终止氢氟碳化合物的生产和使用。

The rule aims to reduce the use of hydrofluorocarbons, called HFCs, by 85 percent over the next 15 years.

该项规则的目的是在未来15年内将氢氟碳化物（HFCs）的使用量减少85%。

What's more, most air conditioners and fridges use man-made gases such as hydrofluorocarbons or HFCs, as a cooling medium.

此外，大多数空调和冰箱使用人造气体，如氢氟烃或 HFCs，作为冷却介质。

To compound the problem, the liquids used for all this comfort — first chlorofluorocarbons and now hydrofluorocarbons — are super-strength greenhouse gases.

人们为了这份舒适而使用的液体冷却剂——先是氯氟化碳现在是氢氟化碳——都是超强度的温室气体，而这让问题变得更糟。

The world set another record in 2012, spewing some 31.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, methane, hydrofluorocarbons and other greenhouse gases into the air.

2012年的排放量又创造了记录——将大概316亿吨二氧化碳、甲烷、氟氯烃和其它温室气体喷入空气中。

While the ban was a win for the climate, as CFCs are potent greenhouse gases, the alternatives that replaced them — hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs — are too.

这个禁令对气候十分有利；CFC 是强效温室气体，而取代它们的替代品，氢氟碳化物（HFC）也是。

And finally, 200 Parties of the Montreal Protocol agreed to the Kigali Amendment that will gradually reduce the production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons, powerful greenhouse gases that are commonly used in refrigeration.

最终，《蒙特利尔议定书》的200个缔约方达成了《基加利修正案》，该修正案将逐渐减少制冷中常用的具有强温室效应的氢氟碳化物的产生和消耗。

The most popular options—also used by fridges and heat pumps—are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases which are between hundreds and thousands of times more effective at warming the atmosphere than CO2.

最受欢迎的选择——冰箱和热泵也使用——是氢氟碳化物 (HFC)，这是一种强效温室气体， 其对大气的变暖效果比二氧化碳高出数百至数千倍。
